RIP Youth Return to Release the Sexy New Single “Video On”

Australian born, LA-based RIP Youth – the moniker of hit songwriter/producer James Maas – returns to drop his sexy new single “Video On” available everywhere on July 28th via Radikal Records. 

“Video On” is a high-energy electropop track on spicing things up with your partner. Playful 80’s inspired synths bounce their way through hard-hitting pop drums, as Maas delivers flirty tongue in cheek lyrics on turning the camera on in the bedroom.

“Video on” is a song of sexual liberation and experimentation in the bedroom. Seeing yourself as the voyeur can add that extra little something to spice things up. We’ve produced the song to sound like you’re in the recording literally having just hit record and enticing your partner to play along. It’s a cool 80’s Wham kind of vibe that feels timeless yet set in the age of only fans and video phones in our pocket.” – RIP Youth 

The new single sees Maas continuing to push his pop-sensibilities to new heights, showing RIP Youth at their catchiest productions yet. With Maas’ longtime friend and Playboy model, Elsa Jean adorning the cover art to match, “Video On” radiates pure sexy fun.
