Motown/Blacksmith Recordings artist Ted When has teamed up with award-winning Canadian filmmaking collective Black Lake (Martin Garrix & Khalid, 30 Seconds To Mars, Shallou) to create a surreal series of six videos to accompany the songs from his debut solo EP, morning. In “Nothing Left”, the first video in the series, an illuminated orb leads a woman from her home into the nearby forest. As she explores the majesty of the natural world at night, she reaches a clearing and glimpses a mysterious sight in the sky. View “Nothing Left” HERE.
Subsequent videos will follow other characters, each on a personal odyssey of discovery. While they are immersed in dramatically different environments, each encounters the guiding orb other mythic images introduced in “Nothing Left.” A new video will debut every other Thursday, according to the following schedule:
3/4: “Edge Off”
3/18: “Guide Me Home”
4/1: “Good Things”
4/15: “Eyes Closed”
4/29: “Don’t Feel Like Feeling”
Born in Cedar Rapids, Ted formerly fronted the acclaimed indie band, Mansions on the Moon. The singer/songwriter/producer has toured with Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller and worked in the studio with The Neptunes. All of these elements and experiences inform his new, genre-defying solo sound.
The six-song morning EP was released in July 2020 and followed by morning FOOL’S GOLD REMIXES, which featured remixes by Nick Catchdubs, Lxury, Jubilee, High Klassified, DJ SWISHA, YehMe2 and Promnite–all members of the Fool’s Gold community of artists. Released in November, the EP evening contained two brand new songs plus stripped-down versions of four previously released tracks. The collection also included the six songs from morning.

The flurry of 2020 releases brought Ted widespread critical acclaim. Flaunt praised his “unique energy and hybrid sound blending the genres of indie and electronic.” Wonderland hailed Ted as a “genre-defying singer, [a] superstar in the making.”
