NYC Trumpeter & Indie Songwriter Andrew Paul RELEASES Single “12AM” FEATURING GEOFF BURKE
New York-based artist Andrew Paul unveils “12 AM,” a moody, immersive new release capturing the hazy, electric stillness of midnight. Featuring saxophonist Geoff Burke, the track blends indie rock textures with deep-rooted soul influences, channeling a sound that feels both nostalgic and immediate.
Inspired by late-night sessions and formative teenage memories—records spinning, time dissolving, and creativity unfolding in real time—“12 AM” evokes a world where instinct takes over and structure fades. The track nods to the groove-forward legacy of Cymande while pushing into a more modern, cinematic sonic landscape.
“This is the sound of being wide awake when you shouldn’t be,” says Paul. “It’s that hour where everything feels possible—and a little dangerous.”
Driven by hypnotic rhythms, layered instrumentation, and an undercurrent of tension, “12 AM” continues Andrew Paul’s exploration of identity, atmosphere, and emotional immediacy.
