Ab’s new single “Never Know” takes a trippy dive into uncertainty

Adam Brausen, known professionally as Ab, is a Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter and producer known for his distinctive blend of ambient vocals with drum and bass and alternative rock elements.

Over the past few years, Ab has honed his craft under the guidance of Grammy Award-winning producers and artists in Los Angeles studios, significantly shaping his sound and approach.

Drawing from personal struggles with addiction, a yearning for hope, and the complexities of love and relationships, Ab explores these themes deeply in his music. His new single, "Never Know," is a testament to this.

The track's lyrics are deep and reflective, conveying the uncertainty surrounding friendships and relationships. The instrumentation feels almost cyclical, beginning with a simple drum beat that builds with the chorus, and the use of delay on vocal ad-libs adds to the effect. 

On making “Never Know”, Ab shares, “I made this track back in February. I usually start with a kick track or sand track for rhythm and then begin looping guitar melodies together. I use a lot of different layers when it comes to the ambient vocals, as well as a couple of multi-effect plugins to create the rippling vocal bed in the background. I like to use my falsetto almost as a blanket for my songs, to add an ambient feel. I wrote this song about not judging a book by its cover; we all have personal battles that we don’t share, so before you are quick to judge, think about the vulnerable things you don’t share.”

The result is a track that feels like a cathartic expression of what's been on Ab's mind, inviting listeners to reflect on their own hidden struggles. With its layered sound and heartfelt lyrics, "Never Know" serves as a reminder that there's always more beneath the surface—a message both timeless and deeply personal.
