Brief Background
Edward Barat certainly kept his promise when he stated he would finally be releasing music in 2014. To some, this just seemed like one of his empty promises that have made way since 2011 when he first rose to some exposure after competing on Star factory. Since Starfactory, Edward had seemed to pick up more steam from his personal life and reality shows then his seemingly non existent music career. Aside from releasing a promotional track "Showman" back in 2011, the fierce and outspoken singer songwriter had nothing else to lean on when it came to his discography. However, it seemed that the time was right in 2014 as Edward Barat has really built up anticipation for this new album of here. Mainly because of its leading single "Fucked It Up Again".
Just two months ago Edward released the projects first single "Fucked It Up Again". The single, which was a dark and depressing alternative slice of synth pop became critically acclaimed almost instantly. The track even reached the Top 5 on the Digital Charts and came in at #2 on Airplay showing that there is indeed an interest to the Showman. Edward explained that he was glad with the success of the track since it was his choice to go with that as the first single and not the 'typical' record, and it really worked to his advantage.
Today Edward appears to be releasing another track from this soon to be titled album that is on the horizon. The title of the track "Unholy Ones" is the Showman's continuation to show that he does not intend to make his music safe as he gets ready to release his album. The track was produced by Joel Little and will be released on December 4th, 2014 via Songs To Live And Die By. Unlike his previous work, Unholy Ones has a "Parent Advisory" sticker attached to its artwork, due to the tracks initial meaning and story. There's no surprise that Edward is a gay male and certainly does not hide it in "Unholy Ones" as the tracks exudes homoerotisism. The record pits two males together as they engage in 'Unholy' activities that Edward recalls as he proclaims this listener in his sensual but rigid vocals that go perfectly with the deep synth beats that Edward seems to have found a niche with. Edward sings about these activists as being "right" and "accepting to him" as opposed to being unholy to others over the pounding beats that rise into an unleashing chorus. Its the Edward's delivery with captivating, sensual and the pounding (no pun intended) vibe of the track that makes this track an obvious standout.
Unholy ones was really written as a reflection of the first time I fell in love with a man and the first time we engaged in sex. And it was one of the best things that happened to me, and its not because he was amazing in bed, but because I realized that it was that, that I truly wanted and I was living my life in secret for too long. I was told for so long that it was "unholy" or wrong to be involved with another male.
I was always so afraid of going all the way and when I finally did. Wow. It opened up my eyes to who I really was and who I wanted to be all that time. Unholy ones wasn't written to offend anyone, but its truth, its real. So I wrote the song thinking about that first when I thought "this is the way I am suppsose to love". I understand that this record is 10 times more edgy then my last record but I write my music as a reflection to things I feel I have experienced as well as others. And this track here, I know can connect with millions who are "Unholy Ones". Embrace yourself. No matter if you are gay or straight. Embrace others no matter if they are different.
I noticed my reflection
With diamonds in his skin,
His hair in painted flames
Was not my own image
What hurt us both the most
Was such a common loss,
Deceit that made us see
Another way of life…
So I let him inside
And sat him down to talk
He showed me all his darkness,
But all I saw was love.
And there I was, I begged
Show me how to feel
So he brought me to bed
And all I felt was real…
And nothing touched the way he loved,
Except for us, unholy ones,
This is how you’re supposed to love
And everything was said and done
The way we hoped, the dreams of young
This is how you’re supposed to love.
So as we start to dream,
I pick apart this quest
He begins to moan,
A call for my arrest
His kiss brings me to my knees,
And down my body, he wrecks
His fingers trace my chest
As he bows his head.
And nothing touched the way he loved,
Except for us, unholy ones,
This is how you’re supposed to love
And everything was said and done
The way we hoped, the dreams of young
This is how you’re supposed to love.
And gently was the wait,
And reassured was love
We give before we take
It’s something we’ve both learned.
If only they would hear
And there was no divide,
There’d be nothing to fear
And no regret to hide…
Don’t wash this out with bleach
Cause I kinda liked the taste
We were destined for this love
And nothing touched the way he loved,
Except for us, unholy ones,
This is how you’re supposed to love
And everything was said and done
The way we hoped, the dreams of young
This is how you’re supposed to love.
