Album Review/ Electro Pop : The New Citizen Kane’s ‘TEMPLE. BEACH. DISCO. DADDY’
The New Citizen Kane has just released his latest album, ‘TEMPLE. BEACH. DISCO. DADDY’. An electro pop collection that combines elements of each word from the title. All of it to craft a fantastic, exciting, and memorable collection. The artist loves to animate emotions and experiences, presenting them with visuals, color, patterns, and movement. Taken all at once, the songs becomes an enjoyable arc that delves into themes of love, romance, dance, disco, and expression.
The collection begins with ‘Forget The World - Temple Beach Version’, a track that is so delightfully carefree, inspiring magic with its melodies and a dance atmosphere with its grooves. You can literally dance your worries away with this track, feel light and get soft on your feet. ‘Lump in Your Throat’ is funky with an edgy alternative air. The grooves are sharp and bent to form unique angles of sound. It gets you moving but also stimulates the brain in an interesting way.
Dance is a common theme across these songs, a way of celebration that manifests differently for each theme. The artist blends retro forms like disco with modern synth color and symmetric design. The harmony of which is elevated further by his vocal delivery. You’ll see this creative network come alive in tracks like ‘Disco Love’, ‘Electric Nights’, and ‘Killer Charisma’.
There are more modern electro pop songs in the mix, one that is feel good, beachy and tropical in a way that is reminiscent of commercial Calvin Harris collabs. ‘Could Have Been’, ‘Ratbag Joy’, and ‘Endless Summer’ bring these refreshing tones to the soundscape. And across this spectrum, the artist completely indulges his electro/ EDM pop whimsy and creativity. It is so memorable and it’ll have you coming back for more. Listen Now!
The album is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
