Genre-blurring artist MAB is back, unveiling his electrifying new single “The Star Lounge”, a psychedelic, dance-infused odyssey that marks the beginning of a bold new era. The track reintroduces MAB with immersive soundscapes, vivid storytelling, and the unmistakable charisma of frontman Jon Berry.
Inspired by dream-state escapism and the surreal, imaginative energy showcased in Berry’s recent viral content, “The Star Lounge” transports listeners into a neon-lit, otherworldly haven where rhythm, introspection, and fantasy collide. Blending Psychedelic Hip-Hop, Psychedelic Pop, and Dance-Pop, the single echoes the innovative spirit of artists like Justin Timberlake and Timbaland, while carving out a sonic universe entirely its own.
“The Star Lounge” was written, produced, and performed by Jon Berry, and produced by Caden Jester. Clocking in at 2 minutes and 33 seconds, the track is sharp, stylish, and hypnotic, an exhilarating re-entry for an artist currently reaching over 39K monthly listeners and rapidly climbing. With “The Star Lounge,” Jon Berry continues carrying that torch, channeling the group’s legacy into vibrant, forward-moving artistry. The new single heralds the start of an expansive, creatively charged campaign that will unfold in the months ahead.
ARTIST BIO:
After a one month excursion through the intrepid landscapes of Patagonia, MAB was founded in the small suburban town of Armonk, NY. It was April of 2018 and at the time, Jon Berry, Alex Katz and Michael Stein were just three guys experimenting with sound and storytelling in the depths of their parent’s basements.
As time passed, their sound evolved and the vision for MAB expanded. Amidst the 2019 summer solstice, Jon and Alex came up with the song ‘A World Beyond My Own’. As two dreamers who always believed in the transformative power of music, they decorated their message of universal kinship with lush, dreamy synths. This track would ultimately become the last song on MAB’s EP ‘A World Beyond Our Own’ and the final song that Jon and Alex would ever create together.
In November of 2019, as Alex and Jon sat in Alex’s hospital room, Alex’s doctor came in. Upon learning that they went by the name MAB, he was taken aback. He continued to explain how mabs are antibodies that fight cancerous cells, antibodies that kept Alex alive during his first four battles with the deadly disease.
By the end of the month, Alex had journeyed on to his next life. Though no longer with us, his remarkable spirit would continue to inspire and guide MAB. In the following weeks, Michael went his own way. Still, Jon was determined to keep their dreams alive, to finish what they started, to combat society’s cancerous cells by building a new world through music. In 2020, he created ‘BECOME’.
