Cy's "Don't Sleep With My Ex" cuts deep, stream the artist's new single here

June 18, 2021 by Toby Boston in Alternative, Electro Pop, Pop, Punk, Rock

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Rising alt-pop star Cy shared her dazzling new single with us, titled ‘Don’t Sleep With My Ex’, let’s just say she has our full attention now. In a stylish balance of soft R&B-melodies and distorted guitars, Cy shares a messy breakup story involving her ex-girlfriend and best friend. Following up on her critically acclaimed debut single, it feels like things can only go up from here. Blending punk-pop influences with sweeping hooks… “Don’t Sleep With My Ex” demands your attention in all of the best ways.

“I was a ticking bomb when I came to the studio that day and all of my anger and confusion just exploded into this song. It’s not about me hating on someone’s relationship, but rather about feeling betrayed by a close friend”, Cy says. “Whenever I’m wondering if I’m exaggerating and being petty about two people finding love, I go back and listen to this song. It makes me remember that some things you might not be able to forgive, and that’s okay.”

We’re excited to see what the artist has in stored for us next, but until then, we’ll just have to keep the new single on repeat. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Cy online to stay up to date and enjoy!

Watch the music video for Marian Hill and Yung Baby Tate's "oOo that's my type" here

June 18, 2021 by Toby Boston in Electro Pop, R&B, Pop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Powerhouse duo Marian Hill return with their signature minimal and gritty sound, returning to the forefront of innovative alt-electronic music with the new single 'oOo that's my type'. The new single marks the road towards Marian Hill’s upcoming album fusing elements of hip-hop, R&B, and pop into their eclectic electronic soundscape. The new single ends with a smooth and seductive finish, blending gritty bass with warbling vocal effects and delicately percussive found sounds, a signature combo that we can’t get enough of.

"Before the pandemic, we'd gotten a bit jaded," share Marian Hill. "The excitement of a career in music had worn off, and there were moments when we thought about walking away. Then, of course, something that had never happened before happened. When everything stops, you really take stock of what you have. Marian Hill gave both of us the lives we'd always dreamed of, and kept us going during the darkest times yet. In a year when Samantha found herself turning 30 in her childhood bedroom and Jeremy suffered a traumatic injury to both of his wrists, the music we made for Marian Hill gave us something to feel good about in a world full of uncertainty. For a few moments each day, we could get lost in a song, and pretend we were playing it for you. And we made our favourite album yet."

We’re excited to hear the new material and even more excited about the visuals Marian Hill has planned for us. In the meantime, keep “oOo that’s my type” on repeat and check back often for updates. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online and enjoy!
