Michael Haze ft: Nate Husser - Love Actually (Official Video)

Fast-rising singer-songwriter/producer Michael Haze, the latest artist out of Canada’s thriving music scene, has uncovered his mesmerising new single, “Love Actually” (feat. Nate Husser). The track is accompanied by a stunning self-directed video and is taken from Michael’s forthcoming mixtape, Venus, which is due for release on 15th October. Although a newcomer in the industry, the Montreal artist, who is currently based in LA, has already showcased his huge potential on debut EP MICKEY, which was released last year and garnered attention online, and he looks set to accelerate his momentum even further with this new release.

Having been interested in music since his childhood and playing piano, saxophone and violin from a young age, his musical talent is evident and on full display on “Love Actually”. Written by Haze and co-produced alongside Michael Ferranti and Funkywhat, the track showcases his smooth vocals, catchy melodies and polished production skills, with the hypnotic and bouncy instrumental sure to be an instant winner on first listen. It also showcases Haze’s production style evolution, as he challenged himself to compose the music exclusively out of samples, looking to YouTube recordings, field recordings and ideas and vocals from friends he’d recorded, before stitching it all together, flipping the beat and adding drums and texture.
