Track of the Day: Viscose - 'Peace of Mind'

After his debut single ‘Been There’ impacted over 60 countries, grossing over 20K streams on Apple Music, Viscose returns with a dance/pop anthem about his personal struggle with anxiety disorder.

Irish electro-pop queer artist Viscose has shared brand new single 'Peace of Mind', elevating his trademark dance roots with intense, poignant subject matter.

‘Peace of Mind’ is ultimately a sonic form of therapy for Viscose. It’s a song that showcases the trauma mental illness can have on the mind, fusing vulnerable lyrics with dance music to normalise issues which affect everyone at some stage in their lives.

"There's something about expressing a certain feeling not only through words but actually through the texture and format of instrumentation," Viscose says about 'Peace of Mind'. "Dance music doesn't always have to have a happy story behind it."

'Peace of Mind' is, at its core, a song of power, strength and reassurance.

Viscose is an who writes and produces all of his own music. His love of dance, house and pop stems from his love of LGBTQ+ and pop culture, drawing inspiration from the likes of Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue and Dagny. Colliding his work with sophisticated, sultry synth sounds; his tunes are full of dance grooves.

As a skilled producer, Viscose has produced various successful songs for other artists; it's just Cat ('Slipping'), Mack Johan ('Encore') and Apollo Monroe ('Soda Pop').

2019 saw the release of singles 'Cry, I Walk' and 'Lost & Found', which caught the eye of bigger names within the industry. Self-care anthem 'Been There' featured the work of Steve James, a producer known for his contribution to the music of Justin Bieber, Little Mix and Martin Garrix.
