Original
There is no surprise that Austin Nimmo is currently putting the final touches onto his soon to be titled debut album that is scheduled to be released in the coming months. Aside from the album, Austin has also released successful singles in preparation for his debut with his most recent single being a duet with friend and fellow pop artist Kato. The record was critically acclaimed and has become a fan favorite amongst Nimmo and Kato fans with the two acts coming together over a stomping and massively catchy tune that calls for all the Pretty Girls in the world, perfect equation for their hordes of female fans. If Austin Nimmo fans thought that, that was all they were in for this week from Austin, then they definitely have a surprise coming to them right now.
One thing Austin wants to show in his upcoming album is his talents as a musician. Most people probably think that the album will be entirely dance, r&B and pop fused but as an artist, Austin doesn't desire this and the album's final product will not be that . Being a pop star, sometimes its hard to really show deeper talents when pulsating beats, flashing outfits and quick dance steps are all that people see. A lot of people do not know that Austin loves to play the guitar and he never got to exactly show his talents so far in that lane do to him releasing mainstream records. Now, Austin changes the pace and release free downloadable song "Unwanted". Unwanted is a swift change from what we are used to hearing from Austin Nimmo. The Australian star trades in his popular jamming sounds for a stripped down, personal track that just calls for an Acoustic guitar, a swaying backing beat and Austin's vocals front in center as he shows off his crisp vocal skills going from high to low pitches on the record. "Unwanted" pits a male having troubles with his significant other, after everything he feels unwanted and he questions the females actions until he realizes he's had enough. Austin writes his lyrics in a complex yet understandable manner and steps away from cliche pop lyrics for a meaningful chorus, deep chorus where he emotionally coos. Through your ways, you’ve showed|You’ve left me out here in the cold.|I’m unwanted and I just see|The sadness taking over me|Self inflicting in my soul. This song is available for free download right now.
"I want to show people that there is more to me then what they see. I've never really gotten a chance to release anything that shows off my talents as instrumentalist. I've always just sang over a catchy chorus and yeah that's fun and all and my fans think it's awesome, I want to also show others that there's more to me then just that. I am showing that there's more layers to me then just that and I feel with the new album not only will you get the side my fans are used to, they will also get to meet this side of me well. I want to show my fans there is a variety to me, that I am diverse and not just one dimensional. I've never released a true acoustic song until now and this is a ballad I am so proud of for many reasons. Everyone has been through a time where they felt unwanted, either with a girlfriend or boyfriend or even with friends and family. Unwanted gets that point across. I wrote this not to make people think this is a catchy tune to dance to, but for people to actually relate with."
The single was released as a free download exclusively from Austin Nimmo's website and totaled a large mass of downloads. Due to the songs popularity, Austin's management decided to add a remix to the track and send it to radio to hold fans over as Austin's album is pushed back a few weeks following personal issues with family. Austin's last single was the hit in "Fly" that is currently still on AirPlay.
Mister B Remix
mISTER_b was first approached by Austin’s manager to produce a remix of some of the songs that would be included in his debut album, later on from a phone call, Austin join mISTER_b in the studio, so they could have a conversation about the songs that were chosen to receive a proper EDM remix. For being one of the most emotional songs of the record and with the idea of making it sound extremely different from its original acoustic sound, Drake (mISTER_b) chose to re-invent “Unwanted” with Austin providing some additional backing vocals, so the track would sound bigger than its original intimate feeling.
The recording section with Austin, lasted two days, but Drake took over one week to finish the song and send it back to Austin management team for their approval. Drake decided to transform “Unwanted” into a Progressive House tune with stripped down verses and a big chorus plus a breakdown. He managed to maintain Austin’s emotion effort while combining it with synth beats, progressive drums and other house music elements. Compared to Drake’s previous music, it could perfectly fit into his last album, it has all the pop elements that album had and it is even more appealing of what is standard for radio stations. The track was surely turned into a hit single, it’s very danceable and the synth beats are perfect for clubs around the world.
This is the first time Drake worked with Austin despite he had worked with Austin’s friend Kato, which by the way saw their collaboration hit the number one spot on airplay charts and number two on digital charts, will Drake and Austin repeat that with this track? It will depend on how much the audience wants an EDM track with Austin singing it, but it is high quality in terms of pop music, so perhaps it will find its place on the charts.
I feel you pushing me to leave this place
Like you told me, I'm just a big disgrace
So I’ll breathe in now what I thought I knew
Cause I thought everything was nothing without you
I’ll hold my breath cause I’m spilling my heart out
Now my sorrow is turning into misery and doubt
Through your ways, you’ve showed
You’ve left me out here in the cold
I’m unwanted and I just see
The sadness taking over me
Self inflicting in my soul
Show me it will be alright
That the world will share its light
Wishing for tomorrow to come
I fear the sorrow is what I’ve become
The voices in my head
They have me questioning what I’ve said
Through your ways, you’ve showed
You’ve left me out here in the cold
I’m unwanted and I just see
The sadness taking over me
Self inflicting in my soul
You’re telling me one thing
Then go onto the next
Changing subjects without a rest
Are you causing this conflict or is this a test
Now you think I’ve become too much,
Well I think that I’ve had enough.
Through your ways, you’ve showed
You’ve left me out here in the cold
I’m unwanted and I just see
The sadness taking over me
Self inflicting in my soul
Tell me when my life begins
And when the sun will come shining in
Give me a meaning to love and hate
Though it might be far past too late
Through your ways, you’ve showed
You’ve left me out here in the cold
I’m unwanted and I just see
The sadness taking over me
Self inflicting in my soul
