Johannesburg, Thursday, 20 April 2017 – In what is pegged to be one of the most lucrative record deals for a South African based artist, Vth Season with Tresor new label VII Recordings, have just brokered a 7 figure multi-year record deal for Pop Urban musical award-winning sensation, TRESOR, with globally represented music powerhouse, Universal Music.
This game shifting record deal comes just ahead of the release of TRESOR’s sophomore album titled The Beautiful Madness which is due for release in May and will be available for pre-order from tomorrow, 21 April 2017. Venerated for his idiosyncratic musicality and fluid vocals, his new single Remedy is sure to catapult the echelon of Pop culture. A lyrically poetic script carried by a lush background tempo, this track revives the electro sound of the 70’s and 80’s Disco era. Staying true to the resonance of dance music, each canto identifies the synchronizing of different components, with the orchestral trumpet debuting a solo melody. This truly is a track that will reverberate through the hearts of listeners from all over.
The Pre-order comes with two Insta Grat tracks: Remedy and Speed of Sound ft. Da Capo.. Remedy is Tresor 1st Single in a while and 1st single of the album. The hit single is already playlisted on key stations like East Coast Radio, 5FM, Highveld, KFM, Heart FM etc… The Video for the track will be exclusively aired on Trace Urban DSTV CHANNEL 325 at 7am on Friday 21st of April.
