ZHU

A few weeks back, we shared â€œSuperfriends,â€� a release from a then mysterious artist either named â€œZâ€� or â€œuser601586061.â€� Less than 24 hours after the song hit the Internet, a Do Androids Dance? reader did some NSA-caliber snooping to discover that the man behind â€œSuperfriendsâ€� and the infectious â€œMoves Like Ms. Jacksonâ€� was actually Steven Zhu, a producer who had previously released music under the name ZHU.

"Many are wondering why I chose to release my music anonymously. I am my own ghostwriter. As a society, we become more attached to the creator than to the creation. Music is faceless. My music is for a new generationâ€”one in which people appreciate art for its intrinsic valueâ€”Generation WHY."

Now fully in the sun, ZHU returns with new single â€œFaded.â€� Though the weekend is almost behind us, â€œFadedâ€� is yet another perfect soundtrack for late night mischief in the re-emergent producerâ€™s catalog. It features the same infectious synth work and affected falsetto vocals that made both â€œMoves Like Ms. Jacksonâ€� and â€œSuperfriendsâ€� such pleasant surprises. 'Read more on Last.fm'.
