It’s finally here. Following the releases of namesake single “Gateway” and “Dynamite,” PARKER is back with the highly-anticipated unveiling of his debut full-length album.
‘GATEWAY’ is out now as a self-release and there’s a little something for all musical palates.
“I started Gateway when I was extremely lost. I felt like I wasn’t being myself with music. The only thing that felt right was creating my first album. Each record I slowly started to find my creativity and make music for me. Not anyone else. Not worrying about opinions from others or listening to anyone’s direction. Each record you will feel and hear my creativity pull me out of the biggest roadblock in my career. Enjoy GATEWAY” – PARKER
A unique amalgamation of sound, GATEWAY tugs at heartstrings and oozes danceable flavor from beginning to end. With his production prowess on full display, PARKER shamelessly bulldozes genre constraints with his striking reinventions of future bass, drum and bass, deep house, and mid-tempo.
‘GATEWAY’ covers an incredible amount of sonic ground – influences of alternative, indie rock, and hip-hop pepper select tunes while the tracklist’s remainders bubble with the artist’s trademark jubilant essence.
As elated synths whir and resounding kick-snare combos fuse with driving basslines, PARKER’s debut album leaves a lasting impression on the listener from start to finish.
