In addition, the band has released a new visual for their current single "Those Eyes." The song has already reached just over 200 million Spotify streams, the sped up version has over 45 million streams on Spotify and recently the song was added to KROQ/LOs Angeles and WKQX (Q101)/Chicago. The music video, directed by Sean Brown, sees the band performing in Los Angeles in a cinematic version of their unparalleled live performances. Check out the official music video for “Those Eyes (Group Session)” here.
New West is comprised of four individual artists: Kala Wita, Vella, Ben Key, and Noel West. They rotate between instruments and pass around the mic, morphing in real-time across each and every song with an unabashedly warm nostalgic undercurrent. Their lead single "Those Eyes" has instantly reacted with listeners worldwide. It initially popped off on TikTok and the success slowly but surely translated to streaming platforms. Between the Original and "Sped Up" version, it clocked nearly 270 million Spotify streams. Tracing an invisible line all the way from the British Invasion to 21st century alternative R&B, they defy genre as they simultaneously define a singular style on their 2023 forthcoming full-length debut for Giant Music/Republic Records.
