AUGUST 08 recently released a 2 parts album split into Towards The Sun (first release) and now Towards The Moon.
KOREATOWN, LA - AUGUST 08, the Def Jam star, recognized for his unique and emotional vibe, released the second part of his two-part album Towards The Moon, preceded by Towards The Sun, this same year. With powerful statements like "Don't be afraid to have emotions," the young Koreatown-based star opens up his emotions and feelings through his material. As a result, it reaches millions of people that resonate with this.
The artist leverages songwriting to experiment with his own states of emotions and feelings, even up to the point of stating that songwriting "is not fun for me," just the best vessel to convey the messages he needs to get out there.
His music, with a fresh and emotional yet catchy vibe, perfectly showcases his life journey from believing that being tough was what a man had to be in life up to his current status. Where he openly expresses any emotion that goes through his heart. And hopefully can imbue that energy into his music.
In a recent interview, he mentioned that when his two album tour is on the road, the song he is most excited about performing live is Role Models, the second track on Towards The Sun that has already piled up more than 34,000 plays since its recent release.
It was natural, you know what I mean. I usually send records with him, which is how the placement has come. He was a great guy, I see what he is going through and I pray for him every single them. I'm blessed to have worked with him.
stated AUGUST 08 regarding his studio collab with Justin Bieber. Humble, talented, grateful, and, more importantly, his craft can get through people's hearts while encouraging them to open up their emotions. Hopefully, this will mean plenty more of AUGUST 08 in the following years.
