BABY, TONIGHT WE’RE SO BEAUTIFUL NOW!
We need beauty now more than ever.
BeautifulNow & Zedd know it’s true. We are both serving it up with a major passion. We are on a pathway to discovering, creating and sharing what’s beautiful now! Check out our new BN-Zedd music video!
EDM superstar Zedd’s “Beautiful Now,” is, naturally, our favorite new song from his beautiful new album, True Colors! With music and lyrics by Zedd, and vocals by Jon Bellion, it is a magnificent emotional plea, an ode to beauty in humanity and the universe.
-- Zedd, Beautiful Now
Zedd’s sound is huge. It is a beautiful mix of unexpected influences, from classical, to rock, to rap, to tribal influences, with piano-driven melodies.
He composes all of his works all on real instruments, rather than on synthesizers, and the effect is powerful -- bringing more emotion and humanity to the sound. We hear colors streaming, pulsing, rushing, and swirling.
Born in Kaiserslautern, Germany, as Anton Zaslavski, Zedd learned the classics from his two musician parents. He’s been playing piano since age 4.
Later, Zedd became influenced by Queen, the Beatles, King Crimson, Genesis, and Daft Punk. Zedd has collaborated brilliantly with Skrillex -- and his remix of Lady Gaga’s “The Born This Way” was genius. His duo with Selena Gomez, on "I Want You to Know," is another fave True Colors track.
BeautifulNow paired up with Zedd’s Beautiful Now in the Beautiful Now is BeautifulNow video, featuring a curation of some of the best BN DailyFix images set to the track.
Check out Zedd’s beautifully produced Beautiful Now video, which tells 4 love stories, laced with themes of love in a spectrum from sensuality, to spirituality, some tragic, and some full of joy. Be sure to check out Zedd’s upcoming arena True Colors Tour, which kicks off 09.06.15 in Seattle.
