Experimental electronic-pop singer-songwriter, fussy has released her new single, “skin graft” via Create Music Group. The explosive, playful track finds the artist exploring new and exiting vocal deliveries following her recent hyperpop inspired tracks “cute kawaii” and “gf”. With co-production by fussy and Greg Hvnsen, the track is filled to the brim with glitchy drums, harrowing sound design, and a towering, unforgettable vocal performance – a true masterclass in bombastic hyperpop stylization. Listen to the track now below.
Speaking of the song, fussy said, “Sonically, I had so much fun experimenting with my vocals on this one. I stepped out of my comfort zone and tried different ways to use my voice in lieu of traditional singing. Visually, I got to work with one of my favorite artists for this song, Gerardo Garcia. I am such a visual person and his art complements the sound perfectly. The grittiness of the facial expressions and the detail he put into capturing the song’s emotion is inspiring.”
“skin graft” kicks off with eerie sound effects before bringing in the track’s pounding beat and fussy’s sing-talk style. The song then drops into its central section replete with fussy’s newly-minted, shouting vocal delivery over a crunchy, earth-shattering trap beat. Evoking the pain of scraping yourself after falling down, “skin graft” is appropriately menacing with its twisted production and distorted presentation.
Over the past several years, the LA-native has carved a name for herself as a session songwriter and performer, having written for R&B icon Babyface and collaborated with some of the most important names in contemporary electronic music such as PEEKABOO, Knock2, and Eliminate. With a refined, versatile pop songwriting skillset fussy has become a sought-out force in the music industry, with artists clamoring to utilize her catchy, emotionally resonant style.
Since launching her solo project in May, fussy has put a spotlight on her own electrifying artistic brand. With an aesthetic defined by unpredictable, left-of-center pop experimentation and vibrant, fashion-forward visual styles, fussy has come out from beneath the shadows of her peers to showcase her holistic, singular creative vision.
Three songs deep into her solo career, fussy has already displayed an ability to traverse sounds and styles in addition to a desire to constantly evolve her artistry. She does this while always maintaining her unique creative identity as a charismatic pop experimenter and unimpeachable songwriting talent.
