These are strange times for pop music.
In a way, all rules are off – pop has rarely been such a nebulous realm, one draped in possibility.
San Diego artist Rad Cat seizes on this for his deliriously inventive new EP 'UNTITLED' – pre-order LINK.
Real name Christian Ariza, the producer joins the dots between wonky hip-hop, flourescent driven electronics, and sweet pop melody.
New cut 'hater' is online now, and it's a superb demonstration of his style and approach, shot through with warm, soothing tones.
He explains: “The reason behind the EP is that Summer is coming up and I wanted to release something that had a happy summer feel. I wanted to be able to spread a really good positive vibe with this release.”
Tune in now.
