Terrell Hines shares brand new single ‘Balance’
“The Georgia artist thinks in the future and wants to bring you into it.” FADER
Terrell Hines’ music contains multitudes, and not just in the obvious way that it blurs all manner of genres into one big urgent, beautiful, hyper-dynamic ball of energy.” Respect magazine
“Terrell Hines’ music falls somewhere between TV on the Radio’s post–Cookie Mountain synth-heavy reinvention and Young Fathers’ career-spanning hyper-experimentalism.” – Flood magazine
Breakout Emerging Artist – Billboard
Today Terrell Hines releases the song and video for “Balance’ – the fifth and final track leading into ‘Portal One: The Mixtape’ which will be released on August 7th on EMI Records / Capitol Records. There will be a visual component for all tracks included on the mixtape and while in quarantine, Terrell will be shooting his own videos at home via a green screen and with ingenuity.

Terrell recently interrupted this run of tracks into the full mixtape with a re-worked version of his 2019 single ‘Get Up’ – this version featured a collaboration with Vince Staples. Watch the lyric video here. The powerful song debuted as Zane Lowe’s World First Premiere on Beats 1 Radio and went on to pick up support from The FADER, Stereogum and Rolling Stone, amongst others.
Terrell is an artists’ artist; a songwriter, vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and producer with influences as broad as Outkast, Joy Division, Four Tet, Migos, Kendrick and more. He recently featured on the title track of Beck’s latest album ‘Hyperspace’. The Berklee College of Music gave Hines a full ride, and people’s first exposure to his music was chosen to be used in the 2019 Apple keynote. Without releasing an album or touring in the U.S. yet, he’s amassed more than 2 million streams.
The concept that drives his music — an even split of postmodern and post-apocalyptic — is how he funnels all his obsessions into what he does best. He’s a renaissance man who can be found devouring books on linguistics, synesthesia, or evolutionary psychology in his downtime. Or considering which metals one would want to gather following a catastrophe, then actually sampling those metals in the studio. “I’m trying to engineer the future,” says Hines.
