Pop visionary and dynamic producer BAYEM is set to unveil his latest masterpiece, EP 'TAPE 3'.
Crafted in collaboration with Owen Thomas (Kishi Bashi, Dream Chief, The Band Perry) and mixed by Geoff Swan (Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, Billie Eilish), this electrifying collection showcases BAYEM's evolution. Blending lush R&B grooves with radiant, sunlit pop melodies, TAPE 3 stands as a daring new chapter in his streaming legacy, which already boasts millions of plays worldwide.
In anticipation of the release, BAYEM has dropped the EP’s centerpiece, “Wreck”, premiered exclusively by Living Life Fearless. With sparkling synths and a towering, anthemic melody, this 80’s-tinged track dives deep into the vulnerability of navigating new love. “‘Wreck’ came to life during a transformative time for me,” BAYEM shares. “I was stepping into a stable, fulfilling relationship for the first time, which was both exhilarating and daunting. After years of chaotic love stories, finding balance felt unfamiliar. This song captures the tension of wanting to protect something beautiful while fearing you might shatter it.”
“Wreck” pairs seamlessly with BAYEM’s breezy summer hit “Malibu”, celebrated by Sweety High, Ones To Watch, and Week in Pop. Together with past hits like the soaring “Avalanche” and the sultry “Regrets”, BAYEM continues to redefine the pop and R&B landscape with cinematic flair and emotional resonance.
To commemorate TAPE 3, BAYEM will headline an exclusive release show at Indianapolis’ Hi-Fi, following a sold-out residency at the iconic Lo-Fi Lounge. This series of performances has solidified BAYEM as one of the city’s brightest rising stars. Tickets are available now—don’t miss this unforgettable night of music.
At just 25, BAYEM is already a force to be reckoned with. Growing up in a musically rich household in Indianapolis, he absorbed a kaleidoscope of sounds—from underground house to neo-soul to mainstream pop—and forged them into his signature style. His lyrics, raw and poignant, resonate deeply, while his hooks leave an indelible mark.
BAYEM’s music has reached far beyond streaming platforms. His track “Pressure” was spotlighted in the season finale of The Kardashians, while “Joyride” found its way into Hulu’s original film Sex Appeal. With features on Spotify’s coveted Fresh Finds: Pop playlist and accolades from Atwood Magazine, CLOUT, and A1234, BAYEM’s rise shows no signs of slowing.
In 2023, BAYEM pushed creative boundaries with the concept EP Oasis, a mesmerizing blend of vaporwave and 80’s new wave aesthetics. Tracks like “Daze” and “Starstruck” expanded his artistic reach, earning
