James Artissen - Blank Face

James Artissen - Blank Face
Posted By: Lenell Johnson on June 11, 2026


Grammy-Nominated Singer/Songwriter, and Producer James Artissen returns with a dark, emotionally gripping new release, “Blank Face,” arriving on all streaming platforms July 24th. Blending haunting melodies, cinematic production, and raw vulnerability, the single captures the tension of hiding pain behind a disconnected expression.



Driven by atmospheric production and emotionally intense storytelling, “Blank Face” explores emotional distance, deception, and the silent battles people conceal behind expressionless faces. The record delivers a moody, late-night soundscape that feels both intimate and cinematic.

“You Can’t Hide The Feeling, I Can See It Through Your Blank Face.”

With its dark visual aesthetic and emotionally layered concept, “Blank Face” positions James Artissen in a lane that merges alternative R&B, dark pop, and modern soul. The release is accompanied by striking visual branding centered around mystery, emotional concealment, and high-fashion noir-inspired imagery.
