After jumping on Church & AP’s latest single, MustBe, YKK’s newest recruit is back with his own summer anthem. Despite being the new kid on the block, Aidan Fine is well on his way to finding his place in the local music scene. If he’s not quietly working in the studio with NZ music’s finest or performing to his growing fanbase at shows across Auckland, he’s investigating new musical ideas, constantly developing and morphing his sound into whatever feels right. Born in the United States, raised in South Africa, and currently calling New Zealand home all before his 20s even begin, Fine is a true world citizen - and his music reflects this. With each new song, Aidan invites his listeners along on his journey to find his place in the world.

This time around, we’re in France. Borrowing the French proverb, “c’est la vie” , Fine explores a philosophy rooted in non-resistance, responding to life’s curveballs with the simple motto, “such is life”. This message, paired with a catchy hook and an exotic trap beat, makes for an incredibly exciting listen. After months of putting CLV to the test - performing it everywhere from K’ Road clubs like Whammy Bar, to 1000s of people at RnV’s Heineken Stage on New Years - fans all over the country have already confirmed their love for this track, passionately singing the words back within moments of hearing it for the first time. Watch footage of the song being performed at RnV here. Produced by Edyonthebeat, mixed by Dera Meelan, and featuring NZ hip-hop giants Church & AP, CLV has been through the hands of some of Auckland’s most innovative hitmakers, placing the song in a territory of great potential.
