Simon Curtis is maybe our first post-Lady-Gaga pop star (in the making). Self-consciously styled as a "boy robot" the actor/singer is consciously embracing the technological evolution of music and the voracious appetite of today's pop music fan by offering his music up for free download.
If he looks familiar, it's because he appeared in the 2009 Nickelodeon flick "Spectacular!" But since then he's been hard at work, crafting his music and his image, both very carefully. And he's acquired an army of robot boys and girls along the way.
"8Bit Heart," the standout single from his up-for-grabs album of the same name, is a deliciously electric cautious love song with lush, near doo-wop backing vocals.
Check out the song below and head over to Simon Curtis' site to download the 8Bit Heart album for free.
