"New York-based solo artist John X Belmonte has been steadily crafting his own unique sound of dark alternative pop music since 2019. Influenced by the likes of David Bowie, Depeche Mode and Kate Bush, Belmonte combines vocals, synths, guitars and programming to create his atmospheric sonic landscapes. In his latest single, “The Ghost of Stars,” Belmonte offers listeners a tantalising glimpse into his musical universe. The track envelops the listener with its spacey and ethereal production, characterised by warm and haunting vocals. It’s a dark pop song that boasts a strong chorus and a retro shine, all recorded within the confines of his own home."
