Watch “New Song” by Bentley Robles
2025 is shaping up to be an extraordinary year for Bentley Robles, marked by remarkable career milestones. The launch of his pop duo Tears and Gearz with Zee Machine, alongside the release of the captivating “Father Figure Fantasy” EP, has set the stage for an incredible journey. Bentley’s solo career is also skyrocketing, captivating UK fans as they can’t help but fall head over heels for this talented Mexican-American pop sensation. With electrifying performances at Mighty Hoopla and a showcase at SXSW London this summer (don’t miss our SXSW review), it’s no wonder he has caught the attention of record labels. Now signed with ONErpm, Bentley embarks on a thrilling new chapter in his musical journey.
A fitting start to the next chapter, the track “New Song” boldly addresses the relentless obsession with newness. Furthermore, it’s not a cover of Howard Jones’ classic; instead, Bentley’s “New Song” critiques the constant hunt for the next big sensation, exposing the superficiality of chasing trends over genuine authenticity.
Bentley has long been an outspoken admirer of pop legends, especially Britney Spears and her contemporaries. With “New Song,” he ventures into exciting new territory. He is channelling a unique fusion of Britney’s signature style and Timbaland‘s innovative production. This track represents a bold exploration of sound for Bentley, crafted alongside his talented frequent collaborator, producer FLORIO.
Up until now, Bentley has captivated audiences with music videos that embrace a DIY aesthetic. However, the transition to a signed artist opens the door to a significantly larger budget for production. He truly leverages this opportunity in his self-directed music video for “New Song.” Above all, this visual journey follows Bentley as he gains entry into a mysterious secret club. Furthermore, revealing the intriguing rituals he adopts to seamlessly fit in. As the newest member, he quickly finds his footing, entices some of the established members to join in on his thrilling escapades. With his successful integration, the cycle of welcoming a new member begins anew, emphasising the relentless momentum of the “new.”
