Double Platinum artist, Tai Verdes, is kicking off 2024 with new track, “Pipe Down” via Arista Records out now. The song is accompanied by a self-directed music video, something that has become a bit of a staple for Verdes who has directed the last three of his videos. Watch the official music video above.
“Pipe Down” was produced by Tai Verdes himself, Sherwyn Nicholls, and Kendrick Nicholls. Regarding the new release, Tai says “He’s gonna pipe down and let the music speak.” The track is one that speaks for itself, a call for self-meditation – to focus and be in one’s inner self.
The release follows “Stars”, which Cosmopolitan noted about the track “Listening to Tai Verdes is like getting a literal IV drip of sunshine.”
Tai Verdes has been trending up and to the right after being named Billboard’s #1 Emerging Artist, garnering over 1.8B streams to-date. His debut album TV included several of the pandemic-era’s biggest viral hits in the US – “Stuck In The Middle”, “DRUGS”, and “AOK” – earning RIAA Certified Gold and 2x Platinum honors. Tai has since performed on Jimmy Kimmel and The TODAY Show, at festivals worldwide such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Breakaway, Governor’s Ball, Reading Festival and Seoul Jazz Festival, garnering praise from Rolling Stone, Billboard, MTV, NPR, and more. The Shazam 2022 Artist to Watch kicked off that year with his equally explosive single “last day on earth”, followed by an extended headline tour around his sophomore album HDTV, featuring hit tracks “how deep?”, “Let’s go to Hell”, and “sheluvme”. Last year Tai released his latest singles “Sandman”, “All White”, “Sunset”, and “Stars”, and was honored amongst his peers in the 2023 Forbes 30 Under 30 list.
With this release teasing even more new music to come, Tai Verdes continues to position himself as a consummate artist – delivering well-written standout hits that invite his ever growing fan base to stand at attention for what’s to come.
