What So Not Drops Absolutely “Beautiful” Track As 3rd Single Off Debut Album

What So Not‘s next single is here and it’s as “Beautiful” as to be expected!

Running in the same direction as much WSN’s work, “Beautiful” featuring Winona Oak builds around an emotional, driving beat and opens into a whole world inspiring sounds. In part a title track from the producer’s forthcoming debut album Not All The Beautiful Things, this single is sure to ignite chills as it focuses on finding the beauty in the broken, the flawed.

What So Not explains: “‘Beautiful’ enters delicately with Winona’s internal dialog. There’s a sense optimism, anxiousness & longing, but also an undertone sadness. All reinforced with the incredible duality along her vocal range. It’s always intrigued me how this song evokes such a feeling freedom & open space yet the protagonist sounds quite troubled. I think the hypnotic & intoxicating energy the production also adds to this perplexity. We put this together in the jungle Nicaragua which definitely had a sizeable impact on the sound pallet but one my favorite things has to be how ‘Robert Plant’ Ryan McMahon (Captain Cuts) managed to propel his vocal adlib.”

This release join “Be Ok Again” featuring Daniel Johns and “Stuck In Orbit” featuring Buoy, both f What So Not’s new record, due out March 9. At this rate, Not All The Beautiful Things has all the makings to be one the best electronic albums 2018.

What So Not completely nails it with this one, per usual… Listen below and sing along with the lyrics!
