Vincent Barrea Releases ‘Chemical or Love’

Vocalist, producer and rapper Vincent Barrea has released his new single ‘Chemical or Love’ on 31 October via Maitre Music. The track was mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Alex Evans (Skrillex, Rag N Bone Man, Basement Jax) and premiered via Clash Magazine, and garnered immediate support from Music Week.

The video for the track went on to premiere on VENTS Magazine. Barrea has seen considerable success with his last two outputs.

‘Zoom Zoom’ has racked up over 800K Youtube views, and prior to that  ‘Save My Life’ and ‘I’m Not Afraid’ racked up well over 400K views.

Based in Moscow, Vincent Barrea has a background in theatre, dance, upstage vocals, acting and fashion photography. Alongside his own music career, he also leads a popular blog and music project for independent artists, Priliv Space. Inspired by a wide variety of artists – from Yaeji, Sevdaliza, Ibeyi, Maggie Rogers, Chaka Khan to  Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, and George Benson, Barea’s music draws on elements from a plethora of genres.

From fiery club bangers to hot reggaeton motifs and trending pop music, Barrea’s sound embodies elements of Mykki Blanco, Yung Beef and Zebra Katz.

‘Chemical or Love’ is based on the uncertainties experienced during the beginning stages of a new relationship. The track opens with an upbeat piano intro and a cuban-style sound palette before Vincent’s vocals slide into the first suave stanza.

Forward thinking beats blended with retro instrumentals and an urbane approach to songwriting, make ‘Chemical or Love’ catchy and compelling.
