YetepIn a move that surprised fans, Bear Grillz, the bass artist known for hard dubstep, has unveiled a breathtaking melodic bass rework of Alphaville’s iconic “Forever Young.” This track is a full-blown emotional resurrection, transforming the 80s synth-pop classic into a euphoric, high energy track that brings powerful melodic single into his discography.
For an artist synonymous with gnarly drops, this pivot into melodic territory is a bold step, and it pays off spectacularly. The track builds with instant nostalgia, classic feeling vocals, and a drop that balances sub-bass with uplifting melodies, creating that perfect hands-in-the-air moment, hugging your friends, as the night comes to an end.
Recently, Bear Grillz has taken back his spotlight announcing he’ll be at Lost Lands 2025 and playing shows all around the U.S.
While melodic bass has taken a backseat in recent years compared to harder dub, releases like this prove its timeless power. Bear Grillz, a decade-deep in the game, just reminded us all why melodic bass matters, and why it’s far from fading away.
