TOUGH LOVE is out today. So proud of this album and everyone who brought it to life.
@nessabarrett, thank you for trusting us with your vision. I love building these twisted, cinematic worlds with you, and this vampire fever dream felt right at home. I’m so proud of what we made together. The eyeliner in slide 4 really did make the guitar sound sadder, good call. @vamp.losangeles
@arthur.besna, it’s always the absolute best vibes cooking up with you. It’s a gift to work together. You are a gentleman and scholar.
So much love to the writers who helped build this with us: @madiyanofsky, @bunnylowemusic and @songsaboutdreams. Thank you @pjcartwright for the violin genius, @maxnudi for the drums, and @nicktprod for your incredible attention to detail in the engineering.
@itsvictorverpillat, thank you for the mixing magic, and @thehitlab for the masters. @breenicxle and @jeffsosnow, thank you for believing in this album and being there through the whole process.
Go listen to TOUGH LOVE 🖤

Hades has arrived.
Some albums take months and some take years. I’m so grateful to have had the last two and a half years to craft this with @littlebodybigheart . We got to explore so many medieval instruments and bring them into the future.
What makes this album what it is comes down to Melanie. She is truly a once in a generation artist. The way she sees the world, the way she builds universes, the way she commits to them without fear. It pushes everything around her to rise to that level. To make art with someone who is not just creating music, but shifting culture is a rare gift.
What always grounded this project for me was the deeper idea behind it. Melanie has talked a lot about this world as a cycle, about life and death feeding into each other, about everything being an infinite loop where nothing really ends, it just transforms. And this album lives inside that idea. It feels like a mirror of the world we’re in right now, where everything can feel a little dystopian, a little overwhelming, like systems collapsing and rebuilding at the same time. But underneath that is something strangely hopeful, the belief that even in chaos there’s evolution, that we’re constantly shedding and becoming something new. That tension between decay and rebirth, between darkness and growth became the emotional core of this record.
Thank you to my @vamp.losangeles brothers @arthur.besna and @thehaloboy for being part of this album and bringing such fresh energy and musicality. Thank you @nicktprod for your attention to detail on the edits and engineering, and @pjcartwright for putting together such a tight chamber orchestra with your orchestrations.
Thank you @malay and @verde.whatever for your songs.
King @rhys__hastings for slaying the drums on this album (and now live!)
Massive thank you to @mitchmccarthy for the mixes. 13 years together on this journey.
And thank you @nathan.dantzler for your final touch on mastering.
Last but not least, thank you @jefflevin for being the glue and setting this record up for success.

✨ PRINCESS OF POWER is out now ✨
So proud to have produced and co-written this album with the one and only @marinadiamandis
Marina is a brilliant artist in every sense—an unreal lyricist, a melodic force, and someone I’ve been a fan of for well over a decade. When she came by the studio for our first meeting, she laid out her vision for the album with so much clarity and intention. She played me a bunch of demos (they were all great, obviously) and asked if I’d take a shot at producing Butterfly.
I played it cool in the moment, but the second she left, I locked myself in the studio and tried 20 different directions for the beat. I nervously sent it over… and thankfully, she liked it. That track opened the door to a creative chapter I’ll always be grateful for.
I’m so proud of this album. It’s about embracing joy (highly underrated). Only positive energy went into making it, and I hope you feel that in every track.
Huge shoutout to the dream team:
@_mmccarthy_ for mixing and knocking it out of the park as always,
@nicktprod for the insane attention to detail on editing and engineering,
and @nathandantzler for the crispy master
@volaramgmt for making this process so smooth, and being amazing artist managers
@pjcartwright for bringing the strings to life and putting together such a fantastic group of players.
K
@hollywoodscoring for making the orchestra recording seamless
And massive thank you to my better half @marikahbaran for staying up late with me while I edited on the couch, your constant encouragement, the studio treats, listening to me play the same part over and over 500 times and still listening when I ask for your opinion. 🖤

Happy first Friday of the month! Please welcome our Songwriter Of The Month @cjbaran. CJ is known for his cinematic pop writing, blending dark, atmospheric production with sharp melodic instincts and vividly detailed lyrics that feel both haunting and deeply personal. His ability to build entire sonic worlds around an idea is what sets his songwriting apart. From his recent work with Melanie Martinez to collaborations with artists like Panic! At The Disco and Nessa Barrett, his imprint is undeniable.
Congrats CJ on behalf of the ATWI fam!

JESUS LOVES A PRIMADONNA
This record feels like a confession whispered through cathedral walls, stained glass, shattered halos, silk, and smoke.
@nessabarrett you don’t just write songs, you conjure spells. There’s a reckless devotion in your vision, a kind of sacred chaos in the way you turn pain into something luminous. Every lyric feels like it’s bleeding, every melody like it’s reaching for something just out of heaven’s grasp. This is entirely, unmistakably you. I’ve loved every minute working with you on this project.
This was a true @vamp.losangeles endeavor creating this soundscape and producing this album with @arthur.besna , engineering and editing by @nicktprod , mix by @itsvictorverpillat , and master by @beckermastering .
To our co-writers who helped craft this universe thank you for pouring yourselves into something so haunting and alive.
And of course, a major thank you to @breenicxle and @jeffsosnow for the perfect execution in bringing this album to the finish line.
Light a candle. Close the door. Fall under the spell.

Happy Birthday wifey!! @marikahbaran 💕
What a year. Watching you step into motherhood has been the most beautiful, overwhelming, inspiring thing I’ve ever witnessed. Theo and I are so lucky to have you… and on top of it all, you casually wrote your first novel this year (!!). I’m just blown away by you every single day and love you more each day.

Honored to be in the company of so many talented writers at Sony. Thank you @georgia.on.your.mind for bringing me on board, I can’t wait to release all this music together!

Endlessly proud of my wife, @marikahbaran, for writing her first book, The Husband Trainer!
Watching you bring this book to life from the first spark to holding the finished book in your hands has been inspiring beyond words. You poured your heart, wit, and brilliance into every page, and I couldn’t be more amazed by you.
Thank you to all our friends and family who came out to celebrate this milestone with us. Make sure to grab a copy before summer ends, it’s the perfect weekend read!

Had the pleasure of producing RUST, the new album by @livingtombstone with the legend himself @sugarvisionyoav
The world he’s built with @samhaftmusic is something special and the niche they have carved into internet history is indelible.

Three years married to the love of my life and it just keeps getting better. Watching you become a mother has filled me with more love than I’ve ever known. Theo and I are the luckiest guys in the world. I can’t wait for the next 30. I love you @marikahbaran !
