A handful of years back Factor B’s music was played in a few places, until suddenly it wasn’t. It involved the quite unimaginable - losing both his fiancé and mother to cancer in 2022. It is a tough event to begin recovering from, even if you’re not in the public eye; Brendan Blatt, however, didn’t even have that refuge.
At the time Factor B had succeeded in breaking out of his native Australia to DJing globally. In 2021, he’d launched Theatre Of The Mind, promptly squaring away his first half-dozen singles and a debut artist album for his new label. He resumed DJing in mid-2023, trying to put more of the previous year behind him. Concerted music production however took longer, but now, in May 2024 he’s ready to release his first Theatre Of The Mind outing in two years. The result is ‘Everywhere To Me’.
It’ll surprise few to learn that his most heartfelt thoughts are etched into the track as its lyrics meditate on how you can lose those closest to you, yet still somehow have them for all time.
Those feelings are conveyed by singer-songwriter Theia, whose delivery captures its mood. While its song revolves around loss, his production elevates first-through-last, its synths, chord structures and key changes aiming to stir the soul.
