After spending the last six years chasing his dream of becoming a professional swimmer, Cody Simpson has finally made his long-awaited return to music. And he\u2019s arrived with pure, unfiltered joy.<\/p>\n
The Australian artist has dropped two brand-new singles, \u2018Baby Blue\u2019 and \u2018When It Comes to Loving You\u2019, via BMG, and together they signal an exciting new chapter for Simpson. Co-written by Simpson and produced by Harrison Borts, the tracks are breezy, euphoric, and impossible to sit still to \u2014 the kind of songs built for golden-hour drives with the windows down and screaming the lyrics at the top of your lungs. Appropriate, since Simpson has recently relocated to Los Angeles, where a never ending summer will keep these singles playing on repeat.<\/p>\n
\u201cI intended to create something that felt like the coming of spring,\u201d Simpson said of the recording process, and it shows. There\u2019s a lightness to both tracks, like someone rediscovering a first love and diving in headfirst.<\/p>\n
\u201c<\/em>In my return to music, I had been experimenting in the studio for almost a year when one day I came in extremely open hearted and open-minded, sensing something vibrant and new wanted to come through,\u201d Simpson says. \u201cI grabbed a guitar next to my friend and producer Harrison Borts on synths, and this is where the sound that birthed \u2018Baby Blue\u2019 and \u2018When It Comes to Loving You\u2019 was born. I hope everybody enjoys listening to them as much as I enjoyed making them. I\u2019ve been buzzing ever since!\u201d<\/p>\n \u2018Baby Blue\u2019 comes with a music video directed by Antony Muse, which follows Simpson on a spontaneous, dancing journey through the streets of Los Angeles \u2014 a fitting visual metaphor for an artist finally letting loose again. A companion video for \u2018When It Comes to Loving You\u2019 is already in the works, conceived as a second act and together painting a vivid picture of Simpson\u2019s re-entry into the world of music.<\/p>\n
