Ted West blesses our ears with his ambient, groovin’, chilled out single “Bittersweet Descent” off his upcoming project True West due out October 27, 2015. Stream this tune below, then continue reading.

Starting his career as a stage actor with roles ranging from Pharaoh to Elivs, Ted found himself tagging along with his then-girlfriend who was actively pursuing a career as a music artist.

One day the producer asked Ted to sing acapella during one of those recording sessions…the rest is now history.

Sounding somewhat like a modern day Jim Morrison, Ted lays his heart out through poetry founded in the rhythms, melodies, and ambience of his refreshing and unique sound.

Bittersweet Descent is a tasty jam driven by the bassline groove and West’s soulful, engaging voice. This is a song you feel.

I’m not really trying to sound commercially appealing,” Ted notes. “My heart is really in the performance not the marketplace.”

True West is going to be an album worth listening to. Connect with Ted on Soundcloud or find him on YouTube. The album is due for release October 27th.
