Music News - New Single for Hybrid Rose - 'Just Press Play' (feat. Fanfickk)
24 April 2018 - 0 Comments
This Friday, 27 April, Hybrid Rose will release a new track called Just Press Play.
Featuring the NZ based electro-pop singer Fanfickk, this song was sonically inspired by musicians such as Zowie and Kimbra, if they were on acid. Lyrically this song is quite angry! Think about the last time someone cheated on you, or your sister/brother stole your barbie dream house, or your cat ate the last biscuit.
Get ready to crank this new single at full volume and experience the sweet taste of freedom of satisfying hatred. This song also comes from the re-release of Hybrid Rose's debut album Cosmic, (re-titled to Warhol) which will be released in March 2019.
Hybrid Rose
Reigning with pixelated jams and colourful beats- Hybrid Rose is back with a new vibe! When the Wellington based bedroom producer isn't doing her studies, she spends her days locked up in her room, in cyberspace producing catchy retro jams.
Her influences go beyond music, however; the opening chords to Pixels came to her while watching an episode of Adventure Time for example. She also cites vintage design and graphics as an influence, especially in terms of the visuals she produces alongside her songs. While Gray doesn't consider herself a political person, she says she's very passionate about making change.
Her musical character showcases the embodiment of too much sugar, too much spice and a little bit of underground flamboyance. The music is occasionally politically inspired, but she believes the world is fucked so you just gotta dance. Hybrid Rose, a cyberspace character. An infectious virus in your ears, an addiction you cannot quit.
FanfickkLaptop-wielding skill-optimist Fanfickk is a New Zealand-based electropop star, world famous in her own house. Her debut EP, Stay Shy, was released in February, 2016. The 4-track EP featured the song Shreds, described by music blog The Revue as "a shimmering electro-pop track that has a touch of Grimes, a dash of Goldfrapp, a sprinkle of Zola Jesus, and a whole lot of Kiwi spirit."
In October 2016, Fanfickk followed up with the single SF Rose, which was written as a tribute to a lost friend. In February 2018, two years since the release of her first EP, Fanfickk tentatively dropped the single Standing Still into the world - a haunted, bombastic cover of a Korean pop song originally by boy band U-KISS.
As the only member of Fanfickk, Fanfickk does all the writing, producing and singing herself, usually at home and sometimes under a blanket. This is a glorious arrangement but occasionally still results in inter-band conflict.
