M-Phazes Collaborates with 14 Year Old Ruel on New Single, ‘Golden Years’
“A stadium-filling performance from fellow Aussie Ruel” – COMPLEX UK
“You can hear a passion that won’t stay secret for long” – TRIPLE J
“A schoolboy with the gritty voice of soul legends three or four times his age.” – HERALD SUN
Partnering with his young protege Ruel, multi award-winning Australian producer/songwriter M-Phazes returns with his latest single ‘Golden Years.’ Featuring a smoldering vocal performance from Ruel (backed by an LA gospel choir), the beautiful production and string laden drop lifts the song into the stratosphere. This track marks the second cut off his highly anticipated upcoming album project and follows his 2016 monster comeback, ‘Messiah,’ a collaboration with Alison Wonderland which has accumulated over 3 million Spotify streams. The single follows on from a ground-breaking response to his production duties on triple j Hottest 100 #2 spot, Amy Shark ‘Adore’, Illy ‘Papercuts’ #7 and Illy ‘Catch 22’ landing at #23.
Ruel was discovered by M-Phazes when he was just 12 years old, after Ruel’s father sent him a demo, not expecting to hear back. In development for the past two years under the wing of the prolific producer, Ruel co-wrote ‘Golden Years’ with M-Phazes’ long-time collaborator Thief. Set to be one of Australia’s brightest rising stars, Ruel just completed a support slot with alternative R&B artist Gallant, with a debut EP executive produced by M-Phazes due later this year.
Landing a major placement on Eminem’s ‘The Marshall Mathers LP 2’ in 2013, M-Phazes has become an unstoppable force. Producing & writing for the likes of Amy Shark (Adore), Zara Larrson (What They Say), and Meg Mac (Never Be), he has since scooped up a Grammy Award, Billboard Award, 4x Aria Awards, 2x Apra Awards, 4x platinum plaque for ‘MMLP2’ and a 3x platinum plaque for Illy’s smash hit single ‘Papercuts’. This year he won an APRA Award for Urban Work of the Year with Illy’s ‘Papercuts’ and was nominated for Song of the Year with Amy Shark ‘Adore’.
