Alt-Pop Artist Artemas Shares Brand New Mixtape Pretty

Today, self-taught songwriter/producer Artemas introduces listeners to his fantasy world with his 13-track mixtape, pretty. The brand-new mixtape also features his new track, “breath away”.

Coming out of massive highs from last year’s release, the brand-new mixtape, pretty dives into Artemas’ twisted world of experimental pop music. The anticipated release is a collection of some of Artemas’ best work to date, featuring “if u think I’m pretty,” “ur special to me,” “just want u to feel something” and more! Recently, he debuted on Zane Lowe’s “24 for ‘24” – a roster curated by Lowe and Jeremy Degan to spotlight new artists to watch in 2024.

With its rumbling bassline and hard-hitting drums, Artemas’ new track “breath away” combines his grunge sensibilities with pop ear worm melodies. Pushing the boundaries of genre, the new track seamlessly fuses Artemas’ R&B influence with a haunting, dark twist. Contrasting his breathy falsetto with his recognizable, experimental production style, he’s creating an anthemic track for drunken nights and the after-hours. The 24-year-old musician’s dark R&B leanings transport listeners right into quiet night drives, lingering glances in the club, and the anticipatory feeling after the door lock clicks.

If Artemas’ dazzling falsetto sounds familiar, it’s most likely because of his inescapable smash “if u think i’m pretty,” which has racked up an astonishing 60M+ streams and over 100K TikTok videos since its release in October. Coming out of massive highs from last year’s release, he dropped “prettygrunge.wav” the grunge version of his massive hit “if u think I’m pretty,” deviating from the formula of releasing a sped-up and slowed-down version of each song. Just last week, “if u think I’m pretty” entered the Billboard Hot Alternative and Hot Rock/Alternative Charts, marking his first ranking on the Billboard charts!

Since releasing a song nearly every month since May, the pop savant, hailed by Ones to Watch as “one of the most consistent new artists in recent memory,” has racked up tens of millions of streams and built a strong community through the power of the internet.

Next week, Artemas will make his headline debut at London’s The Lower Third with tickets selling out in under 20 mins for the two shows on 14th & 16th Feb, with the promise of more live shows to follow.

——————————

I looked into the small mirror one last time to make sure I looked presentable before exiting my car.

Today is the day- I was about to get my first tattoo. I’ve been looking forward to it since I was 13, maybe even younger, and my dreams will finally come true.

My legs were shaking slightly from excitement and nerves as I entered the building and made my way upstairs.

The arrangement of the main room was rather dark. Long curtains were covering huge windows that were spread all the way along one wall, and the black drawings decorating any free space on the walls were a perfect finish to the whole vibe.

My eyes scanned the room for a few more seconds before landing on the main desk- specifically on a person sitting behind it.

The man’s gaze was fixated on the computer screen as his fingers swiftly clicked the keyboard. He was wearing a black sleeveless shirt that exposed his slightly toned arms covered in tattoos. His hair was a perfect length, long enough to sit gently on his forehead but short enough to not cover his vision. Dark, circular glasses were sitting on the bridge of his nose. The sight alone made my heart skip a beat and I knew that I’ll be fucked until the end of the appointment.

I approached the desk and that’s when he looked up at me with his blue eyes. I swear I could see them wander down my body for a moment before he cleared his throat.

,,Hey, what can I help you with?”

,,Hello, I actually have an appointment for 6:30. I figured I’ll be a few minutes earlier just in case” I offered him a smile which he returned.

,,oh yeah! You must be y/n, nice to meet you. I’m Matt and I’ll be taking care of you today” he straightened his hand into my direction. I shook it and couldn’t get over how soft and big they are ,,why don’t you follow me to my station and we’ll get to work, sounds good?”

Before I could start my answer he already stood up from the chair ,,yup sounds great!” he smiled at me once again and led me to a different room.

His work room was no different than the lobby- dark and fancy looking. The nerves that were rooting inside of me were showing more and more. I started to play with the hem of my skirt and balancing from one leg to another.

,,Okay so you can make yourself comfortable while I pull up the project from my shelf. Where’d you like to get the tattoo again?”

,,Right under my collarbone. It’s cute and minimalistic so I thought it’ll be a good idea you know” I tried to keep the conversation going.

,,I got ya. Do you have any other tattoos or is it your first one?” He asked while preparing the equipment.

,,No, it’s my first one. I’ve always wanted one so now that I’m finally able to I decided to fuck it and come over here. Now that I’m about to get it done I’m scared” I laughed slightly after realizing that I’m rambling from my nerves.

Matt offered me a soft smile and got closer to me. He started to slide the straps of my top and bra to get a better access to my collarbone. His hands were slightly grazing over my skin and the rings he was wearing left a cold feeling over me. A breath got stuck in my throat at his action, but I tried to cover it up with a cough.

,,Alright, I’m just going to put a stencil on your skin so there’s nothing to worry about. Just try not to move to much, alright sweetheart?” He spoke softly while clearing my skin with an antibacterial gel. His voice as smooth as butter. I wonder if his tongue would also be this smooth on my pu-

,,Earth to y/n, are you okay? I asked if you’re ready for me to start tattooing you?”

,,I- yeah you can start please” I looked away from him, my cheeks burning from the image that my mind just put me in.

,,thank you, I’m just gonna get into it, if you need a break just let me know. First tattoos are always scary. Been there, done that”

He put his left hand dangerously close to my boobs. He had to stretch the skin for a better access, but it still made me wet. The veins that ran through his hands were right at my sight now and I couldn’t get enough of looking at them.

That’s when I felt it. The sensation of a needle with ink being stabbed into my skin. To my surprise the pain was not the only thing I could feel. There was also something else, was it a pleasure? I moaned at the two sensations mixing together and my eyes widened.

,,Sh sh shhh, you’re doing so good princess, so good for me” Matt whispered- almost whimpered- the praises to me. I could feel the hand that was just holding my skin crawl down to my thigh, really close to my dripping core since my skirt as ridden up. He started rubbing small circles on my leg and his other hand was tattooing me like nothing was happening. Like the sexual tension and filthy activity and thoughts were absent.

I could help myself though. I kept squirming in my seat and groaning every time he pressed the needle into my skin.

,,I think I should distract you from the tattooing. A good orgasm would do it for you, wouldn’t it baby? Do I need to touch you or can you cum just from the pain? I know you’re enjoying it, you’re just a little slut”

,,I mmmmm, please touch me Matt, please” I whined and looked straight into his eyes.

,,Good girl, asking me so nicely. How can I say no to such a pretty girl” he smirked darkly and his hand started going further under my skirt, finally reaching my dripping core.

,,Really? No underwear? Such a whore, you’re practically begging to be fucked. Now, you’ll let me finish the tattoo for the next 10 minutes and don’t you dare to cum. Understood?”

,,Yes sir” my mind was already going foggy and him slightly rubbing against my pussy, so when he put two of his digits into me and I let out a loud moan, he wasn’t surprised at all.

The 10 minutes felt like hours. Matt kept mindless thrusting his long fingers inside of me while being focused on his work. Not cumming was a real challenge to me considering that a wet dream of a man was sitting in front of me and touching my body.

,,Okay, and you’re all done. Normally I’d give you a mirror to see the tattoo right away but I’m so desperate to make you come so you’ll have to live in a mystery for a bit longer” with that being said he removed his fingers from me and licked them clean.

Before I could even say a word, his face was already pressed to my pussy, eating me out as his nose perfectly bumped into his clit.

I was a moaning mess. My hands made their way to his hair, pulling him deeper into me. He was like a starving man that hasn’t eaten for the past week. As my orgasm was approaching I closed my legs around his head, definitely cutting his access to air. It was so unbelievably hot, especially since his eyes never left mine. It only took him a few more licks before I was squirting all over his face and the chair I was sitting in.

,,SHIT I’m so sorry oh my lord I didn’t mea-“ I was cut off by his lips being pressed to mine, tasting myself off of his tongue.

,,no need to be sorry sweetheart, that was the sexiest thing I have ever seen” he gave me a cheeky wink and pressed his lips to mine once again.

,,I’ve got a deal for you. I get to fuck you right now and you can walk out with a free tattoo and my number. How does that sound hmmm?”

I actually couldn’t believe my ears, but who I was to resist a hot man who wants me? So I wasted no time and started rubbing his bulge through his pants, as a sign that he can do whatever he wants to me.

,,that’s what I wanted to see” he groaned at my action and placed his hands under my shirt. His palms playing with my boobs and twisting my them.

He definitely noticed that it’s my sensitive spot because soon he was taking my shirt off and throwing it across the room, his plump lips attacking my nipples.

The feeling was unbelievable, but I couldn’t help but want more. I took the matter into my own hands and started to unbuckle his pants, taking it off right with his boxers.

,,you’re a needy slut holy shit. If you want to act like this then fine. I’ll fuck you like one”

The next thing I know is that I was turned around and my whole body was pressed into one of the big windows. It was already getting dark and the studio was on the second floor, but it didn’t change the fact that the street was still busy and if someone looks up, they can easily see what’s going on here.

It only thrilled me more though. I swear Matt was making me learn so much about myself tonight.

His hands found their place on my body, one was on my hips when the other one wrapped right around my neck. The hem of his shirt was in between his teeth and his glasses were slightly fogged.

Wasting no time, he pushed his dick into me, stretching my walls to an unbelievable level. I let out a scream, but he paid no mind to this and immediately started thrusting deep inside of me.

,,I know you like it rough so take it like a good girl. Take the pain of my cock drilling into you. What would all of those people think if they saw you right now? They’d probably take you for a slut and they wouldn’t be wrong”

I couldn’t say anything at that point. All of this was too much for me to think straight and all that was on my mind was that I was already close. Matt could feel me clenching around his cock and brought his hand to rub my clit.

His peace never slowed down and before I knew it, I was cumming all over his dick. His thrust didn’t stop after this thought. He kept going and going until he reached his high and came on my back.

We were both panting from exhaustion and bliss. I couldn’t help but let out a slight chuckle at the whole situation.

,,So, now that you fucked me senseless, can I get your number that you promised me so we can go one a date?”

The silence was broken by our laughter.

я сначала даже растерялся, @ggondae99 подумал: что она имеет ввиду ? спрашивает про исполнителей? актеров? художников? artist ведь такое невероятно широкое понятие, да?)) а ещё за какой период , ей бы хотелось узнать? это за последний год, за 3, за 5, а может за всю жизнь? а вообще я слушаю очень много разной музыки, разных направлений, очень много, выделить кого то совершенно сложно, потому что мне нравится великое множество исполнителей, и они конечно же меняются со временем. но это не значит, что одни становятся хуже, а другие лучше, нет, просто новые мотивы, имена, всякие штуки приёмы и звуки. я обожаю альтернативный рок, инди и рэп. могу слушать классику, кантри, электроник хаус , попсу и метал 🤘)) короче, ну вот если взять последние пол года, из тех кого я слушал немножко чаще других и кто первым пришли в голову были : “Artemas”; “ Panchiko”.. среди актеров кино: незаслуженно игнорируемый Лео Ди Каприо, Мэрил Стрип, Скарлет Йохансон, и пр. а если художники то конечно Ван Гог, Пикассо , Мунк, и др. а вообще ко всем этим спискам и фамилиям я могу смело добавить ещё пару десятков личностей, среди которых много новых, молодых и талантливых людей, которых вы наверное и сами знаете . спасибо. аривидерчи

What genre of music do you think each of the acoi chracters would listen to ? Or favourite artists

-🦇

i LOVE this question so much omfg it’s my ramble time (i breath music i consume it and it consumes me, fair trade)

reader :

okay SO for acoi reader, i feel like most of her music comes from zaun because that’s her hometown. i could picture her listening to the buttress, lady gaga, odetari while she trains/does an activity that requires her to spend energy.

on the daily, prolly would listen to mitski, artemas, billie eilish, radiohead, gorillaz, deftones (oh yeah, deftones), probably can add some bring me the horizon/spiritbox in this too, charli xcx, I MEAN like most of these i have headcanoned (except billie who's a sort of half-half sorta) to be artists from zaun and she would listen to them duh

viktor :

i think it depends on the situation. if he is working, i do believe he will listen to classical music. you can count in shostakovich, tchaikovsky (duh he’s a lover obviously he listens to him), dvořák, maybe some chopin ngl because i feel like he could listen to a bunch of piano pieces.

otherwise for more modern music, i think he listens to softer things. i could see him listening to berlioz, mac demarco, strawberry guy, tv girl, vangelis and…. cigarette after sex OKAY HERE I SAID IT. i think he could totally like to cag, fight me

sky :

my bbg. i think that although she's from zaun, she prefers piltover's music style more. you can count in it olivia rodrigo, taylor swift, harry styles, pinkpantheress, phoebe bridgers, maya hawke, her's, sufjan stevens, delaney bailey, beach bunny

jayce :

there's two songs in his playlist. face off, and baby shark.

eris :

bbg is on some mystical shit. lana del rey, björk, imogen heap, kate bush, mazzy star, cocteau twins, massive attack (mezzanine album especially), morcheeba, blur, portishead (oBVIOUSLY), air, muse, ramsey

tyler :

he listens to the music he makes, so basically shred. although i think he played FE!N around 57 times in the last week

selene :

omygoodness. my girl loves a lot of things but i feel like it'd balance between new wave and some more disco stuff. depeche mode, new order, the cure, duran duran, siouxsie and the banshees and then you've got marvin gaye, le chic, electric light orchestra, abba and others

thank u sm batnony!! i loved answering this hehe

[vynegar]

Analysis: Which other NXX member it would be most painful for them to see Rosa choose instead of them

Tl;dr

Luke → Artem

Artem → Marius

Vyn → Marius

Marius → Artem

(it was actually an artemsweep until the last minute but we’ll get there)

I really wanted to be able to answer this question with a perfect 1:1 assignment where each member shows up once as the worst option for another, but I just couldn't get it to work. Mostly because of Luke; I don't think he'd be the most painful option for any of the members to see, since there's really no way you can compete with the childhood-friend-reunion AND he's a secret agent who's dying. I feel like the others would have to accept that, since they'd have no chance. He’s also the person who would stay the most aloof during the early (i.e. first year of the game) squabbles among NXX for Rosa’s attention, which separates him out as seeming more secure in his relationship with Rosa because everyone knows how important they are to each other.

Luke → Artem

The same feeling of separation that makes him an impossible choice for the others also made it a bit difficult to decide who it’d be hardest for him to see Rosa with. He’s very much his own biggest obstacle when it comes to them getting together, and the way he’s been concealing his feelings for about a decade makes it feel like he’d already be halfway resigned to Rosa being with someone else. His struggles when it comes to Rosa are so internalized that the pain of seeing the other NXX members just pales in comparison.

Vyn and Marius might worry him because of the danger that their status brings (where is the Luke reaction to hearing Rosa got kidnapped in Unconcealable!!), but sticking with the prompt of what would hurt the most to see, I would go with Artem. Since Artem was also someone who hid his feelings for a long time and tried to care for her from a distance, I think seeing Artem and Rosa together might make Luke think what could have been possible for him, and regret that he hadn't tried confessing. The game generally uses parallels between relationship dynamics to strike an emotional chord, so I think it’s fitting to choose the most similar relationship as the one that would hurt Luke the most.

Marius → Artem

As much as it pains me to not pick his ultimate petty-frenemy-teacher for Marius, I kept forcing myself to stick with the prompt and go from there. The important thing was what would “hurt” the most, so I decided to reason out who would strike the insecurities of each character the hardest. I also tried to think about any recurring themes in the storyline of each character, and that led me to Artem for Marius.

One of Marius’s biggest struggles is balancing the many facets of his life and personality. In Rosa, he’s found someone who not only accepts every face that he has, but also gives him space to take off the masks and truly be himself. Rosa was even instrumental in preventing him from sacrificing his artistic identity Z, so her support for him seems even more powerful and unique. If Rosa ended up with Artem, Marius would be losing that special presence in his life to someone who’s as straightforward and uncomplicated as they come. I think seeing that happen could make Marius question once again how feasible it is for him to keep every aspect of his identity, or at least whether he could find a partner who could handle it.

Another reason why Rosa is important to Marius is that he’s always longed for someone brave enough to face every adventure head-on with him. Marius is the one who most readily accepts Rosa taking the lead on things, their interactions and investigations feel the most like they’re on equal footing, and over and over Marius sees that she can hold her own in each part of his life, business, artistic, or personal. If Rosa were to be with Artem though, they would be partners in an even truer sense because of their shared profession in upholding the law, and that’s a connection that Marius could never have with her.

Artem → Marius

When I started thinking about this question, Artem was the only one I was certain of, and even when I was stumped on the others, I didn't want to give up on this post because I HAD to speak my truth re: Artem → Marius.

I know Artem and Vyn's prickly relationship is so memorable, but since I defined the question as "which person would it hurt to see the most", I had to pick Marius. Yes, Vyn would probably annoy Artem the most, but seeing Rosa with Marius would bring up all those doubts about him not being romantic, exciting, interesting enough for her. Marius is charming and trendy and youthful and perfect for hitting Artem’s insecurity of being awkward and inexperienced.

Vyn → Marius

Up until a few days ago, I actually had Artem down for Vyn (ARTEMSWEEP!!). Then when I decided I really wanted to consider this a meta and try to base it on analysis of canon, I thought over it, once again focusing on insecurities and any recurring themes in the card stories, and went back to Marius.

There are many similarities between Vyn and Marius, but many of the major struggles Vyn might have in the relationship are things that Marius doesn’t have to deal with or is too well-adjusted to be troubled by.

Marius enjoys a high social status on par with Vyn's, but he's free of the kinds of oppressive traditions and customs that caused Vyn to leave his home country. Despite the tragedy and difficulties they've experienced, Marius also has a genuinely loving and supportive family, who also have/had loving and committed relationships. Maybe partially as a result from these factors, Marius is still a relatively optimistic and idealistic person, even while being steeped in the cutthroat world of business. Vyn on the other hand has an extremely strained relationship with his family to the point that he struggles with the idea of it, has mostly seen romance in how it ruined his father, and has become cynical after growing up amongst cruelty and ridicule.

In addition, a major theme of Vyn's second year of cards has been the building desire that he has for Rosa, and his fear of it overwhelming him. Marius is similarly proactive in his romantic pursuit of Rosa, and one of the more forward LIs when it comes to seduction, but fearing that that desire might consume and destroy them isn’t one of the obstacles in Marius’s stories. This could be seen as another issue of Vyn’s that Marius is able to effortlessly keep in check. (I consider this more of a secondary point though, since it could just as easily be a point for Artem and his glacially-paced relationship of two dense bricks. (My other reason for picking Artem would have been too OOC, which is why we couldn’t have the Artemsweep, rip.))

--

Anyway thanks for reading and feel free to let me know if there are any choices you really agree or disagree with! There’s such a gap in canon with the way we never see other the other NXX members when we’re on a certain LI’s route, so things like this are interesting to think about.

*Bonus: if the question was “who would it piss them off the most to see Rosa with?”, it would ABSOLUTELY be a vynsweep with vyn → artem. no there is no reasoning for this it’s just something you feel with your gut

ALT-POP ARTIST ARTEMAS SHARES NEW SINGLE “ur special to me”

Today, self-taught songwriter/producer Artemas shares his latest high energy, explosive single, “ur special to me.”

With its rumbling bassline and hard-hitting drums, Artemas’ new track “ur special to me” combines his grunge sensibilities with pop ear worm melodies. Like much of the London-based musician’s infectious creations, the new track is an esoteric approach to pop music, fusing Artemas’ influences seamlessly through his unique voice, production style, and songwriting. Contrasting intoxicating, breathy falsetto lines over a distorted bass and hard-hitting drums, he creates a mysterious, dark anthem that blurs the boundaries of genre. Along with the brand new song, Artemas has announced his upcoming mixtape which includes previously released tracks like “if u think I’m pretty” “just want u to feel something” and “cross my heart.”

If Artemas’ dazzling falsetto sounds familiar, it’s most likely because of his inescapable smash “if u think i’m pretty,” which has racked up an astonishing 45 million streams and over 100K TikTok videos since its release in October. Coming out of massive highs from last year’s release, he dropped “prettygrunge.wav” the grunge version of his massive hit “if u think I’m pretty,” deviating from the formula of releasing a sped-up and slowed-down version of each song. Earlier this week, he debuted on Zane Lowe’s “24 for ‘24” – a roster curated by Lowe and Jeremy Degan to spotlight the new artists to watch in 2024.

Since releasing a song nearly every month since May, the pop savant hailed by Ones to Watch as “one of the most consistent new artists in recent memory” has racked up tens of millions of streams and built a strong community through the power of the internet.

The 24-year-old musician’s dark R&B leanings transport listeners right into quiet night drives, lingering glances in the club, and the anticipatory feeling after the door lock clicks. “ur special to me,” which is just as much Fiona Apple as it is The Weeknd, is another notch in Artemas’ belt that’s sure to satisfy fans and create new ones.

Next month Artemas will make his headline debut at London’s The Lower Third with tickets selling out in under 20 mins for the two shows on 14th & 16th Feb, with the promise of more live shows to follow.
