Get dirty to the dark electro pop that is Riot, the new single from IRYS. Equally haunting and beautiful, IRYS is dark and exotic. The elusive hush of her vocal is both scorned and empowered. There’s strength and conviction in her pleading forced whisper. She displays incredible control, able to scan her melodic range in this difficult style.
There’s an interesting shift where the beat picks up. The artists cadence shows some inspiration from modern hip hop. In the vein of classic trip hop she combines elements of EDM, post punk, and hip hop. Altogether it displays an urban attitude and world appeal. The Berlin based artist reigns from one of the club capitals of the world. The chic electro pop design and synth choices show acquired Euro intellect. The affect is otherworldly and unique. This experimental design would appeal to fans of Grimes and FKA Twigs. There’s also evidence of dark pop acts like Emika and The Knife.
