Singapore-based electronic dance music producer MMXJ releases his new single, titled ‘Brave’, featuring vocalist ACV via Oceana Label on July 19 across all major streaming platforms.
The artist-producer finds many a song inspiration from the bittersweetness of his own personal struggles, which he has not been afraid to face head on. Talking about this collaboration with ACV, MMXJ notes, “I was struggling with anxiety and panic attacks regularly. I wanted this song to be a reminder for us to be brave in the face of adversity and to keep moving forward with love and a positive mindset.”
In the time Brave was conceived, MMXJ also found solace and strength from a Walt Disney quote that he elected to share in the release notes – “All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.”.
MMXJ has a track record for finding the pulse on tropical dance vibes: previous singles like “Hold On To Me” and his collaboration with Singaporean hitmaker Gentle Bones, “Kings”, surged to over half a million plays, while “Awake”, “Faith” and “Adventure” each garnered over 200,000 digital streams, drawing plaudits from publications like DMC Mag, With Guitars and EKM.CO who have praised his catchy earworms and good eye for vocal collaborators.
