Montell Fish Feels Lost On Dark & Cold Single “Who Did You Touch?”

June 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Montell Fish is a pretty mysterious artist for a few reasons. For one, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania is always crafting some abstract works that not many others are able to replicate. That was especially a case on his recent project, Intercession Before Charlotte. This brings us two reason number two; his alter ego. This March EP was a “collaboration” with dj gummy bear, which is a separate personality altogether. The 26-year-old explains that he is,” A character from the brain of Montell Fish. Used as a way to further experiment with sounds, concepts, and musical ideas”.

When we covered Intercession Before Charlotte, we came to discover that it was pre-cursor to a full album. The title of it is simply Charlotte and it is coming sometime soon. We know this because of Montell Fish’s lead single “Who Did You Touch?”. This the Christian artist’s first solo offering since the September single “I Just Wanna Feel Your Love Again”. Soon, Charlotte will supersede the 2022 LP, Her Love Still Haunts Me Like a Ghost.

On “Who Did You Touch?”, Montell Fish exhibits feelings of jealousy, loneliness, and deceitfulness. On this cavernous and cold guitar-heavy instrumental, the multi-talent repeats the lines, “Who did you touch last night? / Why did you think that I won’t figure out?… I don’t know you no— / I don’t know you no more“. He feels betrayed by a woman who he really loves who goes out and makes herself available to others. It is a pretty heartbreaking song, and one that begins to paint the picture of what we might hear more of later on.

What are your thoughts on “Who Did You Touch?” by Montell Fish? Is this one of his better tracks as of late, why or why not? Does this get you excited for his upcoming album? What aspect of the song did you enjoy the most? Will Charlotte be his best project to date?

Quotable Lyrics:

Depart from me
You always seem to keep on haunting me
And then you make me think you’re wanting me
Baby taunting me
It’s haunting me, love

Montell Fish’s Alter Ego DJ Gummy Bear Delivers Meditative Cuts On “Intercession Before Charlotte”

March 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania genre-bending artist Montell Fish received our first coverage last week for his single with dj gummy bear “Irrational.” However, the latter is not another artist. In fact, it is an alter ego, if you will. The single was to promote Montell Fish’s/gummy’s EP Intercession Before Charlotte. Well, today the “duo” is here to deliver that project and it features six tracks with zero features. Essentially, think of gummy bear as a producer and Montell is the performer.

After listening to the tape, this may be the most relaxing thing we have heard this year. The production takes center stage with elements of lo-fi and alternative. Montell’s lyrics are little bit of an afterthought, but not in a bad way. It just seems that this was clearly more of a dj gummy bear project compared to a Fish album.

Additionally, this will not be the last we hear from Montell. At some point, he will be dropping the follow-up Charlotte, which is going to be an LP. The meaning for this EP, according to a Hypebeast interview, was for dj gummy bear to keep Montell away from the distractions of fame. That will be talked about on Charlotte. He explains it further in the chat with the publication, but the other meaning behind Intercession is a distraction from the LP itself, meaning he needs more time to get it done.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new EP, Intercession Before Charlotte, by Montell Fish and dj gummy bear? Is this his best project to date, why or why not?

Montell Fish Along With Second Alias DJ Gummy Bear, Tease Upcoming EP With “Irrational”

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Montell Fish is an exciting and enticing artist from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that is always mixing things up. It is a big reason why he has becoming popular but yet still flies under the radar. He likes to experiment with separate genres such as lo-fi soft pop, chill hip-hop, and R&B. It is quite the mouthful, but it leads to some excellent pieces of music. Today, we are covering Montell Fish and dj gummy bear’s new collaborative single “Irrational.”

However, dj gummy bear is not a separate entity entirely. Essentially, he is a second alias of Montell Fish. According to the Spotify profile, he is “a character from the brain of Montell Fish. Used as a way to further experiment with sounds, concepts, and musical ideas.” This single has a strong dance/lo-fi feel to it with its steady and fast-paced drums. Montell also takes the reins on production here.
