With his latest release, "Anything For You," Vienna-based singer-songwriter ARRIE taps into a fresh, upbeat sound that’s both nostalgic and modern. The track takes heavy inspiration from 80s synthpop, funk, and disco, blending those classic genres with a contemporary twist. At its heart, "Anything For You" is a love song that reflects on how love can be both liberating and complicated – the kind of feeling that pushes you to do anything for someone, even when things don't work out perfectly.
What makes it stand out?
One of the most unique elements of "Anything For You" is ARRIE’s deep involvement in every aspect of the song’s creation. From writing the heartfelt lyrics to crafting the production, ARRIE’s hands-on approach shines through. The track's infectious, retro-influenced beats are accompanied by sparkling synths and catchy melodies that make you want to move. It’s a bit faster and punchier than ARRIE’s previous work, yet it still carries the emotional depth and introspective lyricism he’s known for.
The backstory of "Anything For You" adds another layer of charm. Originally, ARRIE didn’t think the song would see the light of day. The track, then titled "Love Like That," was described as a puzzle he couldn’t solve. But after sharing it with his closest friends, their enthusiastic reaction convinced him to finish and release it – and we’re so glad he did.
