Melbourne hip-hopper Pez is following up his smash hit “The Festival Song,” with another surefire chart-topper “These Days 2009.”
The song is a remixed, rerecorded version of fan favourite “These Days.” It sees Pez reunite with Blue King Brown’s Hailey Cramer and some of Melbourne’s finest session musos.
Pez said he was inspired to revamp the song to give back to his loyal fan base.
“I was so amazed by the level of support people gave to the ‘The Festival Song’ when it hit radio late last year – and I’m still amazed at the response it continues to get at shows, online and on the radio,” Pez said.
“At the same time, I wanted to show people who only knew me from ‘The Festival Song’ that there’s not just one side to me, that I’m a diverse artist with a lot more to offer than just that one track. And of course, I wanted to give the loyal supporters – those who’ve copped the album and keep telling me that they want to hear new material – something really special to tide them over until I drop another full-length.
“I think with ‘These Days 2009,’ we’ve achieved all of that. We’ve improved on the original track tenfold and I can’t wait for people to hear it for themselves.”
The release of ‘These Days 2009’ coincides with Pez’s support slot on Bliss N Eso’s national tour. Check out this amazing urban lineup at the following venues!
