BAZZI DROPS SURPRISE TRACK “FTC”
Acclaimed singer-songwriter-producer Bazzi surprised fans and industry alike last week by dropping an unplanned video for “FTC” – a newly released candid piano ballad. The release follows Bazzi’s cinematic video for “Beautiful,” which Billboard called “as epic as the song’s thematic elements themselves.” The follow-up single to this year’s breakthrough RIAA-certified Platinum smash “Mine,” “Beautiful” boasts over 72 million streams and was recently featured as a global Snapchat Lens.

Bazzi’s breakthrough single “Mine” continues to be a force, charting #1 this week on Pop radio where it has proven an unprecedented favorite. The track was named among Billboard’s “50 Best Songs of 2018 (So Far),” in addition to boasting chart positions that include #1 on Apple Music’s Pop Streaming chart, #1 on Shazam’s Global Top 100, top 5 on Spotify’s Overall Global Chart and top 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. The sultry song – which has amassed a total worldwide streaming number exceeding 519 million to date – was also recently performed onThe Ellen DeGeneres Show (watch) and Jimmy Kimmel Live! (watch), with more high-profile appearances to be announced soon.
COSMIC, written predominantly by Bazzi and co-produced by Bazzi and Rice N Peas, also features stand-out tracks “Honest,” “Myself,” “Gone” and “Why?” – all of which expertly build sonically upon what Billboard described as“slinky, R&B-infused pop.” Playboy called the collection “genre-bending,” praising Bazzi’s “warts-and-all approach to songwriting.” “Bazzi’s ‘COSMIC’ seems primed to linger near the top of the albums chart for quite a while” said Stereogum, while USA Today echoed “Bazzi’s career is just getting started.”
