Josh Tepper brings us his latest offering with a stunning duet version of his alternative pop single, “Built Me,” featuring the talents of vocalist Madisyn Shipman. The New York City native and former vocal major at Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, takes inspiration from a range of artists such as Sting, Justin Timberlake, Phil Collins, and Peter Gabriel when crafting his own original sonic vision.
In this new version of “Built Me”, Tepper and Shipman’s voices blend seamlessly to deliver an elegantly beautiful and emotive rendition of the song. The single tells a story of lost love, and Tepper’s vocals are heartfelt as he sings about past relationships that were not good for him but missed the person anyway.
The track features a sparse instrumental arrangement, with a piano and guitars floating over a laid back beat providing a simple yet graceful backdrop to the vocals. Shipman’s voice adds an ethereal quality to the track, and her harmonies complement Tepper’s voice beautifully. The lyrics are poignant and relatable, and the duet adds another layer of emotion to the already moving track.
Tepper’s vocals are impressive, showcasing his range and emotive ability. His voice is tender and powerful, delivering the lyrics with sincerity and passion. Shipman’s voice provides an excellent contrast, adding a sweetness and lightness that enhances the overall sound of the song. The production of the track is top-notch, with the focus on the pair’s voices, allowing the lyrics and the emotions behind them to shine.
Overall, “Built Me (Duet Verions)” is a sensational piece of indie pop that showcases Tepper’s incredible vocal ability and songwriting skills, and the duet with Shipman elevates the track to another level. The lyrics are relatable, and the emotions behind them are palpable, making for a moving and captivating listening experience.
The single is an impressive addition to Tepper’s growing body of work, and it shows that he’s a truly talented artist to watch. With his unique blend of alternative pop and influences from a range of artists, Tepper has carved out a sound that’s distinct and compelling. His linking with Madisyn Shipman is a testament to his ability to collaborate and create music that’s both beautiful and meaningful.
