The Hotel Lobby and Swage Team Up for Bass-Heavy Single, “No Soul To Sell”
The Hotel Lobby have arrived with their first song of the year, a dynamic bass track called “No Soul To Sell.” Created in collaboration with long-time friend and producer Swage, the song has come to fruition after the three LA-based producers hit the studio in early 2022. The heavy-hitting track was released via the independent record label Speed House Movement. Building on the hyper-house genre with an electrifying first drop and forward-thinking second drop produced in half-time, The Hotel Lobby set their sights on pushing the genre forward alongside Swage, a bass house vet with many high-profile collabs under his belt. “I’ve always wanted to work with THL, they’re some of my best friends and we’ve both been vibing on speed house lately,̶...
Watch The Hotel Lobby’s Johnny Lee Recruit AAPI Celebrities for #StopAsianHate Music Video, “Tonight”
Award-winning Asian American artist, director, and one-half of the duo The Hotel Lobby, Johnny Lee has used his voice and platform to raise awareness of various causes throughout his career. He directed and edited the music video “Stand Up/Stand N Rock #NoDAPL,” which was created in solidarity with Native Americans and the fight against the Dakota Access Pipeline route. The video earned him an MTV Video Music Award back in 2017 for “Best Fight Against the System.” Now, Lee has released a new single and video that hits even closer to home. Lee has created “Tonight,” an anthemic song for the #StopAsianHate movement, as a call for racial unity and social change in response to the increase of anti-Asian hate crimes and violence. It arrives after a week...
Vanesa Seco Shines in The Hotel Lobby’s Breezy “Gold” Music Video
The Hotel Lobby is back with their new single “Gold,” a collaboration with Vanesa Seco. While many know Seco as a shuffler and dancer, “Gold” sees her in a new light: as a singer-songwriter. After appearing as a dancer in The Hotel Lobby’s April 2020 single “Superfly,” the duo wanted Seco to hop on the mic, and it was only a matter of time before they had to reunite. “Gold” is the result, an effervescent future bass track with melancholic chord progressions and warm, bubbly saws in the chorus. The track’s bright piano strikes, soaring sound design, and feel-good melodies all blend nicely with Seco’s top-line, which should do well to serve as a launchpad for a solo career. Check out the “Gold” music vide...
THE HOTEL LOBBY Release Nostalgic Music Video for “Good Life”
THE HOTEL LOBBY are back with another new music video. This time, the duo gave their recently released single “Good Life” the audiovisual treatment in the form of a sun-kissed project that hearkens to good vibes of pre-pandemic yesteryear. Although the weather is getting colder by the minute, the tropical, sun-soaked atmosphere created by the track is highlighted by a fun music video of the blossoming duo and their crew enjoying the sunshine. It’s a great accompaniment to the warm pop and future bass hybrid. Don’t worry, the duo is aware that we’re in pandemic and have stated that the video was not filmed during lockdown, but rather during last year’s Miami Music Week. Johnny Lee of THE HOTEL LOBBY spoke on the production of the music video and shar...
