DJ BLKLUOS, Milo Maestro, and Ayana Butterfly Join Forces for Soul-Stirring Single “Open”

In an era where genre lines are constantly blurred and creativity knows no borders, a trio of distinct voices have come together to craft a truly heartfelt meditation on love and vulnerability. The new single “Open” is a stirring collaboration between Canadian producer DJ BLKLUOS, Atlanta-based lyricist Milo Maestro, and Los Angeles vocalist Ayana Butterfly, and it's already resonating deeply with listeners across the globe.

Released with an intimate visualizer video and now streaming on all major platforms, “Open” is a sonic journey into the emotional maze of modern relationships. The track blends rich elements of soul, R&B, and hip-hop, creating a smooth and textured listening experience that lingers long after the final notes fade.

At the helm of the production is DJ BLKLUOS, a veteran of Canada’s underground music scene known for his emotionally intelligent beats and seamless genre crossovers. His production on “Open” is both minimal and layered—offering lush keys, subtle percussion, and a melancholic warmth that sets the perfect stage for the vocalists to do what they do best.

Enter Milo Maestro, an Atlanta-based artist with Miami roots, who delivers a lyrical performance brimming with honesty and poetic finesse. His verses explore the tension between emotional availability and the fear of rejection—an all-too-familiar dance in today’s digital love age.

Adding another layer of emotional depth is Ayana Butterfly, a South African-born, Los Angeles-based vocalist whose voice is equal parts ethereal and grounded. Her melodic presence floats effortlessly over the instrumental, serving as both contrast and complement to Milo’s more grounded delivery. Her harmonies in the chorus are nothing short of haunting, capturing the ache of wanting to be understood—and the risk that comes with being truly “open.”

Together, the trio has created more than just a song—they’ve built a conversation. “Open” is a vulnerable anthem that dares to ask what it means to be emotionally honest in a world where we often hide behind facades and screens. It’s a track that encourages listeners to sit with their feelings, reflect on their connections, and, maybe, take the leap toward transparency in their own lives.

This collaboration is not only a testament to the power of international artistry but also a reflection of what’s possible when soulful storytelling and sophisticated production meet. Whether you’re a fan of late-night R&B, reflective hip-hop, or genre-bending soundscapes, “Open” offers a little something for everyone—and a lot for those willing to listen closely.
