Marius Britt – better known as Montazona – began his musical journey at a young age, learning to tame guitar strings and coax melodies from piano keys. Since then, the emerging artist, has gone on to create his debut project, “Room 135” alongside his sophomore album, “Butterfly”, a lush project which took listeners from the soaring heights of love to the depths of reflective introspection. Now, marking the next phase of his creative evolution, Montazona blesses fans with “New Waves”.
Taking inspiration from industry juggernauts like Tame Impala, Mac DeMarco and The Black Keys, Marius himself describes “New Waves” as his reaction to the fast-paced, trend-driven world of Los Angeles. Britt reflects on the track, explaining, “‘New Waves’ is my reaction to moving to Los Angeles and being shocked at the speed with which things move here. I like to take my time and be thoughtful in almost every aspect of my life so it was a big adjustment for me. Everything in music, fashion, art, and even regular life is a trend here and there has to be something new right now every single day. For someone like me, it gets overwhelming. That’s what “New Waves” is. I tried to make it upbeat and “trendy” while getting my over-thought point across. I guess my goal with the song would be to provoke people to appreciate things that they like because they like them, not because it’s cool right now or because everyone else likes it. Eventually, everything will be trendy even if people think it’s stupid now.”
