LYRICS:

Show me what it's like to be a star:
bursting open right from here to Mars.

I know I'm not a man, 
I know no top, I am a Sun.
Ain't no one gonna break my soul, 
ain't no one gonna break my flow, oh oh oh.

Show me what it's like to be a black hole in the sky.
come up, rising, bring it on,
ain't nobody gonna quell this fire.

I got myself up high and flying, need no ride,
bring it up and move aside, or
bring it up and bring the light, hey hey.

Oh God, oh God, I hear the ring, I hear the call:
gotta heed this birthing 'fore I go down with the fall,
alright, alright, alright, I gotta thank it all,
yes the world's on fire, but even so, here we go…

Alright, alright, alright...

Beyondré - The Rattle Up

André Baum is a writer, singer, musician, and producer from NYC. The Berlin-based artist creates at the intersection of sound, image, and word. Classically trained in piano, Baum’s early love of electronic music, hip-hop, and 2000’s New York bands helped shape his unique style. For the past 15 years of composition and performance, Baum’s multimedia practice has covered a broad spectrum of music, artwork, and film for stage, gallery, and recorded formats.
As a solo recording artist, Baum debuted as Beyondré in 2014 with an EP of alternative-electronic songs titled “Beyondré is Born.” As a conceptual sound artist, Baum crafts installations and improvised performances using voice, live electronics, and field recordings. These most notably include a series of works with iconic German artist Rebecca Horn. Frequently drawn to collaboration, Baum’s first producer credit was with Vanessa Daou’s “One Thing I’m Missing”, which he composed around Daou’s acappella vocals using sounds from an apartment in Lower East Side, NY and debuted on BBC 6. As one-half of electronic duo People People, Baum released his first 12” on Discobar in 2020. It featured a club remix by techno legend Ricardo Villalobos.
In 2021, Baum released a series of singles and music videos as an introduction to songs under his own name. He also premiered live at Berlin’s Club der Visionaere, both solo and with duo People People. In 2022, Baum continued his live streak and hosted People People Things in Berlin. So far, 2023 saw Baum release “Forgive the Night” EP with Chris Korda, debut People People live at NYC’s Resolute/Can You Jigit party, release LPs from Beyondré and People People with Yoyaku, and contribute a song for Seth Troxler’s new label Slacker 85.
