Maya Vik is sharing her newest release, "Hustlebot (Initial Talk Remix)" today. This is the third track she's sharing from upcoming LP, Hustlebot, due out June 7th, her first album since 2015. The single is a remix of the title track, made by the 80s and 90s-loving producer Initial Talk (Japan), known for his very tasteful remixes of Dua Lipa, Kylie Minogue, and more.
Maya says, about the song, "Hustlebot is a song that was written a few years ago. It's a pretty funny concept where my good friend Morgan Phalen, who helped write the song, commented that I was very good at hustling for myself. This became the song Hustlebot where I describe myself as a hustling robot. As an artist, I do a lot myself in terms of vocal production, songwriting, planning the visual aspects, and planning promo and activities around my releases. So in that sense, there is a lot of hustling, and sometimes you have to turn off the emotions because the product you are selling is yourself - hence a robot.
When the song was released, I felt it didn't get enough focus and playtime, and when I connected with the legend Initial Talk over Instagram, he was very keen to do a remix of this song. The version is a delightful summer tune in the familiar Initial Talk style, which suits the cold hustling robot well."
The track comes as a part of Vik's newest LP, Hustlebot, that's set to drop June 7th. It's an album full of dance hits, positive lyrics, and a coolness that reminds listeners of Kylie Minogue or Janet Jackson. Hustlebot is an energizer album, a piece of work that makes working hard feel effortless because of its infectious beats. |
