Nelson is best known for his acting career and notable roles in The Hunger Games and Teen Wolf, as well as starring alongside A-list actors like Robert Downey Jr. However, his passion for guitar and songwriting has lead him to another creative outlet in releasing music of his own. One socially distanced LA music video and recorded song later, and Nelson has set up a solid start for his music career.

“21st Century Love” is a song about just that: the complexities of modern love and attraction. It explores how technology has majorly changed how we interact and date, and how even one look at someone on a dating app can be enough to want to know more about them. Nelson’s debut single is a true pop song, with artists like John Mayer and Coldplay as leading influences.

If you’re interested in delving into the subjects of modernity and love as it pertains to music, Ian Nelson’s “21st Century Love” is a great place to start.
