Openly toying with the very foundations of modern pop, all-round artist and performer CARDAMONE delivers a captivating and boldly original video and single, for Killer.
Instantly intriguing for this delicate long-form vocal lead and these fearlessly vulnerable lyrics relaying issues of obsession and madness, Killer backs up this initial appeal with an intensely emotive string section; and some quirky rise-and-fall synths alongside.
Already effective for its unusual yet familiar presentation, Killer then goes on to bring through a soulfully bright, passionate hook, referencing this ‘Mannequin man’ who suddenly redirects the listener’s entire grasp of the song.
The music energizes further, gathering momentum throughout, and all the while our protagonist continues to weave this web of self-reflective depth and deadly adoration.
Brilliantly unique yet also well-rooted amidst the familiarity of the production, the voice, and the essential resolve to that hook and title concept, Killer hits the scene with memorable impact – introducing an artist from whom we’ll no doubt be hearing a lot more in the coming months and years.
