Ahead of his forthcoming album Human Energy, the ever-prolific Travis Stewart, best known as the mastermind behind the Machinedrum moniker, has shared the radiant and undeniably cinematic new track "Tell U."

Featuring rising Canadian songstress Rochelle Jordan, "Tell U" contains the same sort of sweeping chord progressions and fidgety vocal manipulations that made his previous single -- the D∆WN-featuring "Do It 4 U" -- such a gorgeous track. And this new single, indebted to its aura of effervescent, joy-filled emotion, continues to demonstrate how Stewart is one of the rare talents who can repurpose a simple stem and turn it into something greater and, somehow, more human.

"This track is an example of how I took a homie's vocal that they sent me in the past and reused it in a different context, just like 'Do It 4 U,'" Stewart said. "I took a sampling approach to Rochelle's a-cappella and recontextualized her lyrics in the same way I would with an old 90s R&B a-cappella in some of my older tracks" -- and it's absolutely euphoria-inducing. Listen for yourself below.
