<b>Samuel Proffitt</b> announces his debut EP entitled <b><i>Blue Notebook No. 10</i></b>, which will be released on
<b>January 27<sup>th</sup>, 2015</b>. Following a series of life-changing personal events, Proffitt traded in the world of dance music for his love of songwriting, storytelling, poetry, and Russian literature. The result resembles the penetrating chill and
lucidity of a winter’s night; music that is a window to something more - something elusive, intimate, raw. <a href="http://www.thefader.com/2015/01/07/samuel-proffitt-aob-beats-premiere-sirens"><span style="color:blue">PRESS HERE</span></a> to listen to the
EP’s stunning, new track “<b>Sirens</b>” by <b>Samuel Proffitt & AOBeats ft. Jeff Sontag & Jess Zobler</b> now via
<b><i>The Fader</i></b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">"Besides the clear mythological allusion, the inspiration behind ‘<b>Sirens’</b> can be illustrated through the interplay between the voices and the lyrics
themselves,” <b>Proffitt</b> tells <b><i>The Fader</i></b>. “AOBeats and I went into the song with the mindset of making something multifaceted: a song that is as raw and poignant for two lovers, as for someone alone.”
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Started as just a collection of songs,
<b><i>Blue Notebook No. 10</i></b> is an emotionally motivated and exquisite compilation of indie electronic tracks. As
<b>Samuel Proffitt</b> puts it, “The story is always the most important, but there isn't only one way to tell it. It doesn't have to be cohesive in the normative sense.” Although each piece of music on the EP possesses its own story, there exists a connection
between every song that brings everything to life as if in chapters of the same book. In
<i>Blue Notebook No 10</i>., Proffitt has finally found the voice - musically and lyrically - that he’d been searching for all along. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Times",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
