Artemas Takes Romance to Sinister New Depths in "ur special to me"
Artemas is no easy gaze to impress, but âur special to meâ proves thereâs more blood in his veins than heâs led on. Begging his muse to wrap their hands around his throat, the dark alt-R&B alchemist takes romance to sinister new depths.
Based in London yet steadily building out a global audience, Artemas is only at the beginning of his rise, yet heâs already your favorite underground artistsâ favorite underground artist. Two weeks out from his official mixtape release, PRETTY, set to release February 9, the anticipation is bubbling at the brim for what is to come.
With a tone both sinister and broken, the pull of Artemasâ sound is too alluring to resist. Reminiscent of dark indieâs golden age, âur special to meâ could easily sell itself as a bonus track on The Weekndâs 2011 House of Balloons.
Sharing that he was nearly done with his Artemas persona, ready to give in and start over only two months before making âcanât stop loving you,â his overthinking was impeded by the sudden success of his intoxicating sound. Heâs a testament to being in unrelenting pursuit of what is authentic, knowing that no matter how long or what route, it will always pay off. With his first-ever headline show coming up next month at Londonâs The Lower Third and more cities to follow, itâs clear his standing on business is still paying off.
