Richmond, VA Native, AARNxBRWN Releases Sophomore Project, “Save Me Im Drowning”

After the release of his 2019 project “GHost”, Recording Artist, Producer & Songwriter AARNxBRWN has resurfaced with his sophomore project “Save Me Im Drowning”(SMID). Produced, written and recorded by AARNxBRWN in his Richmond home, SMID pushes his unique sound forward with honest stories of his childhood, Richmond City upbringing and deep self reflection delivered through intricate yet playful flows over his genre-bending production.

AARN began taking music seriously about 3 years ago, evolving from a bedroom creative to a skilled musician, taking production credit for all but two songs on this project and writing  for all. AARN crafts these tracks from inception of the inspiration to finish, single handedly, with contributions from fellow RVA artist friends such as Rupert, LA Moore, CA$, Steevn Shires & Recluse. When it comes to creativity and relaying human emotion through sonics and words, AARNxBRWN delivers in an eccentric fashion reminiscent of fellow VA natives like Pharrell, Missy  Elliot and Timberland. AARN also draws inspiration from artists like Schoolboy  Q, Mac Miller, Kanye West, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Tame Impala, and Thom Yorke!

In order to learn, the prodigal son had to leave, Brown explained. Even if it meant making mistakes, he could only gain and grow by venturing out before returning home.

“He had to go away to get enough wisdom to understand that everything he needed was home,” Brown said. “At some point of time he had to take that jump.
