Fern releases new song under Island Records Philippines, 'Whatever This Is'

02/28/2021 04:22:45 AM


Young and fast-rising artist fern. is ready to break new grounds thru his new song released under Island Records Philippines.

The new song titled Whatever This Is is an R&B jam that is about diving into some sort of relationship without fully committing to it. Meticulously arranged with quiet storm beats and sleek minimalism, fern.’s latest song delves into a level of showmanship that isn’t tied to theatrics and drama; instead, he pulls off a balance between unguarded moments and emotional honesty to create one of the most compelling works of his career.
Fern reflected by saying, “The song was written about a personal experience of mine. Music has always been my way of facing my emotions and coming to terms with them. ‘Whatever This Is’ is one of those songs that was made just because I wanted to let go of certain emotions and be okay with whatever I was feeling at the moment.”
Produced by fern., prolific electronic artist similarobjects and experimental beatsmith VINCED, this new track highlights fern's seemingly bold move to a new island in just a short span of time.

Three years since arrival in the scene, the electropop singer-songwriter has quickly established himself as a formidable multi-hyphenate talent, thanks to his fearless drive on committing to blur genre lines and infuse eclectic production with pop sensibilities. In the said period, he made songs of his own that serve as vessels for confessional intimacy, while also penning and producing tracks for some of the biggest indie, R&B, and pop fellows at the same time. 

Prior to Whatever This Is, fern earned a spot on PARADISE RISING’s globally renowned mixtape, semilucent which garnered more than 20 million streams on Spotify.


With the new song at hand, the stars align in fern.’s favor as he continues to embrace his crossover potential without losing his credibility and interest to make something gold out of the ordinary. Taking into consideration the recording process behind the song, fern. admits that he produced the beat first before writing the lyrics of ‘Whatever This Is.’ 
The multi-talented artist shared, “After producing the beat, I recorded the song with my friends and they helped me a bit with the song production.”
Fern's collaboration with two other artists resulted in a slow-burning anthem that not only treats emotional openness as a rite of passage but also something that is worth celebrating. 
“I don't really think about my songs in this way so I can’t really tell what makes it different and what makes it cut above the rest,” fern said in conclusion. “My songs are basically just the product of my emotions and they all represent the different stages that I go through in life.”
