Kilo Kish Goes ’80s Retro on New Single “Bloody Future”: Stream
Electropop musician Kilo Kish has just released a new single titled “Bloody Future.” It’s a retro number fit for the ’80s with Halloween-style synths, tiny harpsichord riffs, and deadpan singing verging on spoken rap. In a press release, Kilo Kish explained that she wanted “Bloody Future” to be a “hot and sweaty dance club” song that explores global warming, cultural changes, and an onslaught of media. “I’ve noticed myself not paying attention to critical information when the music or surrounding visual elements are alluring, beautiful, or fun,” she said. “Our society often operates in the same way, concealing insidious issues like environmental decline while satisfying with entertainment and distraction. When it all boils over, we’re left shocked and dazed. My lyrics explore this blissful...
