“As soon as AI takes hold, we all may be screwed. This is a scary & uncertain time for artists.”

There’s always more light to be found in the world, but not everyone stays long enough to find it. As with all Bad Bubble music, that realism and honesty is key.
Creatively unpredictable yet conceptually well-rooted, the brand new EP from producer and artist Purple Tones achieves impressive levels of both nostalgic embrace and unrivaled originality.
The live experience holds appeal, while the music presents a swirling realm of melody and rhythm, and the voice continues to pour through with equal parts seductive charm, personality and precision.
It’s a hard truth to swallow, and the progression from the poetic imagery and joy of ‘Has the sun been a little warmer?’, to the ultimate self-scorn of ‘I must have been horrible’ is fiercely on point.
Atmospheric and cinematic from the opening moments of organic and electronic sound-play intertwined, Bad Bubble’s recognizable creative approach is familiar, though instantly seems to reach new levels of ambiance, for the beautiful introduction to Underscore’s Accord.
“Bad Bubble speaks to many people every day. I don’t say a word to anyone. We are two totally different people.”
Bad Bubble forever balances a sense of cinematic vastness with that of quiet contemplation. It’s an ambient realm, meditative to a degree, but it’s also an arena-ready indie anthem that aches to be witnessed in a huge and mildly-reverberating setting.
Short yet incredibly impressive and a joy to let play at volume, the Heaven EP speaks out on behalf of hard-working artists who devote themselves to the craft and the freedom of writing above all else.
“I have always been ambitious, but my goals have changed. Right now, my allegiance is to the story. I have to get this right.”
Starting with a string arrangement initially as ominous as the project’s retro artwork, Bad Bubble ultimately delivers a complex, unpredictable and captivating audio experience, for Underscore.
Celebrating the win and overcoming in an inspiring way, Langston Blu’s return unites retro piano, trap rhythms and smooth, soulful vocals.
