Labrinth’s new single, “Surrender,” is available on Apple Music after the singer-songwriter composed and recorded it during an overnight livestream. Fans could follow the track’s creation on his YouTube channel and ask questions during the session.

The recording took place at Apple Tower Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles. Labrinth used Logic Pro 13 on the new touchscreen MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display to build the song from scratch.

Apple has separately posted an edited highlights video on its own YouTube channel. In the accompanying description, the company presents the session as a demonstration of touch-based music production, including adjusting EQ envelopes, manipulating samples, changing Remix FX and playing keys directly on the screen.

The finished recording follows the full-session broadcast on Labrinth’s channel. Listening to the single through Apple Music requires an active subscription.
