LOS ANGELES, CA (December 15, 2023) – Following the release of their acclaimed joint single “Separate Ways,” alt singer-songwriter and producer Eyedress and Grammy-nominated band The Marías reconnect on “A Room Up In The Sky,” out now via RCA Records.
The second of two collaborations from Eyedress and The Marías, “A Room Up In The Sky” is a dreamy cut of psychedelic seduction. Flowing with luscious production and smooth, slowed-down percussion, “A Room Up In The Sky” features alluring vocals from Eyedress and The Marías’ frontwoman María Zardoya.
Says Eyedress of the release, “I made ‘A Room Up In The Sky’ with GRAMMY Award-winning producer John Hill at his studio in Venice earlier this year. It was one of the first instrumentals we made together. I was just showing Mac DeMarco some songs we made for my album that I’ve been working on, and when he heard the instrumental, he gave me an idea of how to sing the melody for my verses. I tried it and ended up loving it. After I tracked my vocals, John asked me if I’d be down to ask María to sing the chorus with me. After we made ‘Separate Ways,’ I asked her, and eventually she sent her vocals. Lyrically, I was talking about how my life changed for the better when I stopped doubting myself and really started believing in myself and my work. I realized I was subscribing to these negative thought patterns that didn’t serve me, and allowing myself to let go of that negativity really turned my life around and helped me become who I was meant to be.”
“It was so easy and seamless working on ‘Separate Ways’ together. Everything flowed perfectly, so when Eyedress approached us to work on ‘A Room Up In The Sky,” it was a no-brainer for us,” adds María Zardoya. “It was just as seamless. We have a lot of similar tastes when it comes to tones and similar approaches when it comes to creating.”
After signing to RCA Records this year, Eyedress closes out 2023 on a high note. Earlier this year, he sold out his headlining show at The Novo in Los Angeles in addition to performing at Head In The Clouds LA this summer. He also released two collaborations with Mac DeMarco, “The Dark Prince” and “My Simple Jeep,” in addition to his own singles including “Flowers & Chocolate,” “Teen Mom,” “Sadie Hawkins Prom,” and the two-pack project Escape From The Killer.
About Eyedress
Born in Manila and now residing in Los Angeles, Filipino artist Eyedress has continued to make a name for himself over the past decade, blending a wide array of genres from lo-fi hip-hop to post-punk to ‘80s-influenced goth and more to craft something that is distinctly and wholly his own. He certified himself as an artist to watch when his 2019 single “Jealous” hit viral status, appearing in over one million videos on TikTok and earning an RIAA platinum certification. He followed suit with “Romantic Lover” the following year and “Something About You” in 2021, both of which have also gone platinum. Last year, Eyedress made his Coachella debut and released his latest full-length project FULL TIME LOVER, which featured collaborations from N.E.R.D.’s Chad Hugo, Nosaj Thing, The Drums, and more, including his partner, Elvia. The acclaimed record earned an official remix treatment from Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine, who put his own spin on the album’s track “HOUSE OF CARDS.”
