LA-based singer/songwriter and dancer Stewart Taylor, shares his single “Nightmares“, which is available on all digital stores.

BEHIND THE SCENES, LET’S KNOW MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST: Stewart Taylor is an LA-based singer, songwriter, and dancer. Drawing influences from early Prince and George Michael, Stewart’s breakup and bed head anthems put the funk and the joy back in pop music. Stewart grew up in a small town outside New York City, where he began writing songs and performing in local talent shows and clubs. Since graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston, he’s collaborated with Grammy-nominated songwriters and producers Charlie Puth (Wiz Khalifa), Jason DeZuzio & MADS (Imagine Dragons) and David Pramik (Selena Gomez, Bebe Rexha). After independently releasing several singles since 2019, Stewart shifted to a more Pop/R&B sound for his single Favorite Ex. Bolstered by the Scott Storch and Mentol Remix, Stewart signed with Billboard Chart Topping label Sapphire Records in 2023. Following the release of his single Nightmares, MTV added its music video to MTV’s Brand Spankin’ New rotation in Spring of 2024.

“Nightmares” is an expression of sensitivity. It’s the work of an artist in search of a true human connection. That craving for love is audible in every note he sings and inflection he voices — he maintains masterful control over his performance, but he’s never afraid to let his vulnerability show. His songwriting is, among other things, a nuanced exploration of both same-sex and human desire, in all its nuances, excitement, and vivid color.

WATCH THE OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO OF “NIGHTMARES” BELOW:

Director Benjamin Farren’s clip for “Nightmares” begins with a flash of lightning in a stormy sky and concludes with a shot of the star’s notebook. He’s scrawled these lyrics on lined paper to calm himself down and get him through nights spent alone, far from the object of his affection. When he sings, his expression is intense, pleading, full of longing and breathlessness. We’re shown a boyfriend, too — a man half-shrouded in shadows and smoke and gazing away from the camera. Stewart Taylor seems to be reaching for him through the haze, tantalizingly close, but still inaccessible, caught somewhere behind the veil of sleep.

Don’t miss it!
