Listen to “Follow Me (ft. Camo MC)”
Cultivating a sound that resonates with music fans who worship energy above all else, “Follow Me” featuring New Zealand artist Camo MC urges the listener to be themselves. “It sounds very cliche, but something so simple seems to be so difficult for most of us. We struggle so much with trying to fit in, with not feeling enough. Cameron and I connected on a very deep, personal level, and I let him take care of the lyrics entirely. His energy made me want to jump around like a toddler, so I followed him.”
The release of “Follow Me” also marks the debut of Zardonic’s new signature mask. As if reflecting progression in palpable form, it has evolved with him. “To some extent, every mask marks the end of an era in my life and my way to approach music,” he notes. “The mask from the Become album [Zardonic’s 2018 album] and recent tours received a lot of battle damage. I had to constantly glue it back together. The paint scraped off. It wore a lot of scars with pride, yet it was a huge weight on my shoulders because no longer want to these scars to rule my decisions. Hence, the new mask is the exact opposite: shiny, sparkly and full of life. You could say I’m constantly resurrecting the Zardonic character, so to speak.”
“Follow Me,” along with Zardonic’s recent releases “Bring The Ruckus” featuring The Surgery & MC Reptile and “Bitter” featuring REEBS, will appear on his third studio album Superstars set for release July 14, 2023.
