NEW MUSIC: JUSTUS BENNETTS & GAYLE | DON'T TRIP

Justus Bennetts unveils the magnetic new single and video "Don't Trip" with teen hitmaker GAYLE. The acoustic alt-pop DIY anthem thrives on the exact reflective hooks, unapologetic lyrics, and brash vocal delivery that propelled both self-made artists to stardom. "Don't Trip" finds the North Carolina newcomer observing his peers' questionable behaviour while remaining true to himself. He was once overcome by loneliness-"I used to want to have a conversation every night, would always search for someone to fill the hole in my life"-but now he opts for carefree living. His collaborator is of a similar mindset. "All my friends keep hitting me up; they're sick of waiting for replies," GAYLE belts in her verse, later joining Justus for the chorus: "'Cause it takes me so much time just to make up my mind." "Don't Trip" follows Justus' nostalgic alt-pop November smash "Cool Kids," which galvanized late-bloomers everywhere, as well as other 2021 standouts "Bad Day" and "Nightstand." Overall, the 21-year-old singer/songwriter has tallied over 120 million streams in less than a year, with only seven singles out. Similarly, GAYLE has rocked to prominence via "abcdefu." The Gold-certified breakup anthem broke through to the top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart and boosted the 17-year-old breakout sensation to the top of coveted charts such as Billboard Global 200 and Emerging Artists. GAYLE has racked up over 925 million streams to date.
