Bringing us his first release he shares his debut single titled “Hurt Again,” a compelling artistic statement that unveils his original blend of alternative pop and R&B.
Written by Ethan Constantinou and produced, mixed and mastered by Rosé, with his first single Ethan Constantinou serves up an emotive slice of cinematic pop music. Opened by sombre tones of clean electric guitar notes, Ethan’s soulful vocals glide in to thread atmospheric leads carrying moving lyricism.
With sheer aching emotion dripping from his voice, intricate electric guitar leads flutter in the background before the snap of the electronic beat enters to inject a laid back groove. Inspired by the conflicting thoughts inside his own mind that hold him back from new relationships due to the lingering pain from past experiences, the stripped back arrangement and hazy aesthetic allow the weight of his poignant lyrics to hit home with power and conviction.
Rising to an emphatic crescendo, Ethan’s smooth vocals intertwine with the dancing solo of the guitar performed by Gabriel Mwangi to craft a memorable and enveloping finale. Having made a worthy entrance with his stellar debut single, Ethan Constantinou is sure to win over fans as he continues to share his stunning songwriting and sensational vocal performances.
Paired with the single is the music video directed by Tom Ryan, pieced together in just five days. Shot in Ethan’s manager’s apartment in Barcelona, the video sees the artist play out scenes to reflect the lyrics and the inner turmoil brought about from new connections to provide a slick visual accompaniment to the song.
