“Malibu” comes off BAYEM’s upcoming new EP TAPE 3, set for release on December 14. Written and recorded with Owen Thomas (Kishi Bashi, Dream Chief, The Band Perry) and mixed by Geoff Swan (Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, Billie Eilish), the collection of sonically expansive tracks across the new project make for a bold addition to his multi-million-number streaming catalog. “Malibu” follows the success of previously released singles from this year including the shimmering, synth-rock anthem “Avalanche” and the soulful, R&B-infused “Regrets.”
After making his performance debut in Los Angeles this fall, BAYEM will be performing an EP release show in Indianapolis on December 14. He recently performed a sold out, two-week residency at the famed club Lo-Fi Lounge, solidifying him as one of the most sought-after artists that the city has recently generated. He’ll make his return to his hometown with a show at the Hi-Fi in celebration of the release of his new EP.
About BAYEM
25 year old BAYEM hails from Indianapolis. Raised in a musical family, he was exposed at an early age to underground house, acid jazz, neo soul, and mainstream music. His songs interpret this diverse well of influence in a wholly unique way, with his raw perspective on life and culture being aptly manifested in his fresh lyrical depth and undeniable hooks.
His track “Pressure” was included in the season finale of The Kardashians and the single “Joyride” was featured in the Hulu original film, Sex Appeal (2022). BAYEM’s music has been featured on Spotify’s coveted Fresh Finds: Pop playlist and has earned early praise from outlets like CLOUT, Atwood Magazine, who included his EP AFTERGLOW in their “The 22 Best EPs of 2022” roundup, A1234, and beyond.
After accruing millions of streams and glowing reviews of his singles “Pressure,” “Thrill,” “Joyride,” and “Demonize,” BAYEM issued the infectious 2023 singles “Daze” and “Starstruck.” These singles again expanded BAYEM’s growing cultural and critical success. In 2023, BAYEM released his ambitious project Oasis, a concept EP with five exceptional songs inspired by internet vaporwave and 1980’s new wave music. BAYEM is looking forward to charming audiences yet again with his upcoming new release later this year.
