Following the success of his debut single, ‘Time Out’ (just under 4 million streams), London-based pop singer-songwriter AJ Wander has released his new single, ‘Take It All’, via Elevation. The track was produced by co-writer Gethin Williams alongside Brad Mair (Dean Lewis, Jamie Cullum, Kygo). Prior to the ongoing pandemic, AJ had been running himself ragged playing covers at piano bars and hotels across the UK. Once lockdown hit, he turned all his energy and focus into creating his own music and pushing forward his solo career. Wander’s drive paid off as his new music led him to sign a management and recording deal with Elevation, a USA-based music company that specializes in artist development, and a publishing deal with BDi Music, administered globally by Bucks Music Group.

‘Take It All’ is a cinematic new tune from Wander. Eloquent and vivid songwriting flourish throughout the track while gripping and expressive musicianship adorns the backdrop in suspense and drama. Filled with lamenting piano strides, swelling soundscapes, pulsing drums and thick electronics the track is a dynamic and heartfelt display from Wander as he croons atop the breath-taking melody “all the words I have are caught behind my teeth and they’re choking me it’s getting hard to breath”. AJ Wander’s sound is emotive, expressive and laced with passion. His earnest songwriting and intricate musicianship is impressive and makes him an artist to keep an eye on. 

About the track Wander said: ‘’Take It All’ is me learning to let go, reminding myself not to get distracted by glimpses of light amongst the darkness. I wrote the track with my mate, Geth, in his caravan in rural Wales last November in the midst of a toxic relationship.”
