Virginia native N3WPORT is joining forces with NYC indie pop singer/songwriter Dan Berk and emerging talent Olivia Ray for the upbeat and emotive single “Mean It” on Lost In Dreams.
The track marks N3WPORT’s fourth release with the label following previous gems “Bliss,” “Lonely” and “Shade of You.”
“Mean It” is a pop-centric electronic bop that’s built around the uncertainty and excitement of new love. Dan Berk and Olivia Ray trade verses to give life to an evocative duet vibe. Showing both sides of a burning new love, the lyrics are stirring, sultry, and addictive, hitting listeners in the feels while offering a singalong sound. N3WPORT builds upon the vocals with expert precision. From the emotive chords in the intro to the energetic rhythmic percussion, swelling synth progressions, and dance-driven bursts in the chorus, it traces the rollercoaster ride of burning desire. The chorus sections see waves of euphoria rolling over with a gentle embrace. Blurring the realms of pop and melodic bass, this unique trifecta of artists unravels a tale of beauty and passion worth revisiting time and time again.
N3WPORT reflects on the journey of bringing the single to life, saying: “Dan and I started working on ‘Mean It’ about two years ago, when he sent me the vocal. Our idea was to create a melodic pop track that conveyed the message of wanting authenticity in a relationship. I loved it, but knew I had to dig deep to make something special and unique with this one. Sometimes, crafting a song takes time, but I think the time we spent on it makes it all the better! The last piece that was missing was having the perfect duet, and Olivia Ray’s name immediately came to mind. She absolutely crushed it, and the song was finished! I’m grateful to be releasing on Lost In Dreams, a label that’s felt more and more like home to me and fellow melodic bass-heads everywhere.”
Virginia-based producer N3WPORT has been making waves in the melodic bass space with a sound that fuses his love for pop punk with emotive inclinations. His previous stream of singles with Lost In Dreams have been incredibly well-received landing support from Airwave, Wave Music, The Music Essentials, Find Your Sounds, Neon Owl, The Festival Voice, and Noodle Magazine. He has experienced radio support on Illenium’s ‘Phoenix Radio’ and The Chainsmokers’ ‘Nice Hair’ radio. His résumé of live sets also continues to expand with performances hosted at EDC Las Vegas, Lost Lands, Moonrise Festival, and Lost In Dreams.
“Mean It” wears its heart on its sleeve, offering an evocative electropop anthem that begs for repeat listens. Adding to the excitement, the song will be premiered live during the producer’s show as direct support for NERO at the UC Riverside Block Party the week of release.
N3WPORT’s new single “Mean It” with Dan Berk and Olivia Ray is available on all platforms via Lost In Dreams Records.
