Just A Taste.
Ian Abel Releases New Single and Video “Taste”
Electropop artist Ian Abel talks about what it’s like to lust after an ex, and all the exhilaration, messiness, conflict, and sensuality that comes with it, in his bold and sexy new song “Taste”. Along with the breathtaking new video co-directed by Kyle Clark, “Taste” is a riveting trap-influenced alt-pop creation: warm and cool at the same time, smooth, soothing and totally anxiety-inducing.
The video features a menagerie of performers and artists of different backgrounds, orientations, body types, and gender expressions suggestively indulging in sinful foods and naughty toys. The video simmers with the boiling-over insanity of a spurned former lover… and it’s just as hot.
“I knew going into the process of this video that I wanted to show off how insanely attractive people are when they embrace themselves, but honestly I didn‘t know the half of it,” says Ian. “I’m proud to be able to show off mine and my fellow artists’ bodies in all their glory.”

Ian Abel (pronounced “able”) is, at the bottom of it all, a queer comic book nerd with a heart of gold. With an oh-so-smooth velvety voice and sensual, psychedelic electro-pop arrangements, he’s like if Sam Smith met Robyn or Jessie Ware met James Blake, all with a side of Peter Gabriel. He’s not just your standard indie voice.
For well over a decade, Ian has been an artist and performer. He has performed around the world and with greats like Nile Rodgers, Jimmy Fallon, and the SNL band. He has sung onstage at Carnegie Hall, on Chinese national television, and in festivals in Sun Valley, New York, and Edinburgh.
He released his debut EP “Icarus” in 2016, and his songs and videos have been featured on Howl & Echoes, Wolf In a Suit, Clout, Indietronica, Milk Crater, Cougar Microbes, and Spotify’s Fresh Finds. He began writing and performing original music in 2013 while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston. Since moving back to New York in 2014, he has become an installation at venues all across the city, most frequently the famed Rockwood Music Hall in the Lower East Side.
