Gold-certified pop phenom AJ Mitchell has released a new single called “STOP,” which adds to his immersive sonic world. The song is the next chapter from his eagerly anticipated full-length debut album, Skyview, which is set to be released this year and executive produced by Mike Dean.
A thumping bass line and a flurry of funk guitar are combined with a show-stopping vocal performance in this track. He delivers enthralling verses before launching into the hook, “I don’t want to stop, baby it’s our time.”
“STOP” continues the journey that was set in “CAMERAS ON,” released late last Month. The conceptual lyric video shared today picks up where “CAMERAS ON” left off. While “CAMERAS ON” depicts the story of AJ dealing with the darker sides of fame and his previous experiences with the content collective Team 10, the new lyric video finds him walking away from the cameras to the stage, depicting his passion and dedication to the music and what truly matters.
With all of the songs released from Skyview thus far, we’ve seen AJ Mitchell truly coming into his own, showcasing his knack for great storytelling.
“When you listen to the album, I want you to feel nostalgic,” AJ says. “It really takes me home. At the same time, I want you to know more about who I am. Talking to the camera is unnatural for me. The best way for everybody to understand me is through my songs. I’m still just a kid who lives his life through music. There’s not a single day I don’t think about it or don’t want to run to my guitar, my piano, or my notepad and start writing.”
AJ Mitchell has steadily asserted himself as pop’s most charismatic new leading man since his debut in 2018. He surpassed the 1-billion stream mark on Spotify in just three years, averaging over 7 million monthly listeners. He was named a Vevo LIFT artist and an MTV Push artist, and he was named to Variety’s “Young Hollywood” 2020 list. In addition to receiving praise from Billboard, Idolator, Highsnobiety, and Seventeen, he gave standout performances at the MTV Video Music Awards, as well as on The Today Show and Good Day New York. The gold-selling title track “Slow Dance” [feat. Ava Max] from his Slow Dance EP was released in 2019. So far, he’s had four songs in the Top 40 at Pop Radio, including the latter. He’s also established himself as a reliable partner, recently collaborating with Cheat Codes on “Hate You + Love You.” He also worked with Elle Henderson, Steve Aoki, Captain Cuts, and others in 2020. He spent the previous year putting together his full-length debut Skyview, with legendary Mike Dean serving as Executive Producer. The cameras are now trained on AJ Mitchell, and he is poised to shine in 2021.
