PROSPECT LUX RETURNS WITH HAUNTING SINGLE "ROYALTY"

Capturing the innovation of the East Coast - NYC producer Prospect Lux and dark pop starlet HOLDN team up on the new single ‘Royalty’ to create your quintessential soundtrack to the apocalypse. Told from the perspective of AI, HOLDN glides effortlessly over a bed of synths and disheveled beats to create a marriage of sounds that feels like an unexpected moment of serenity in a dystopian world.

Cut from the same cloth as the 2014 film ‘Ex-Machina’ the trip-hop-inspired collaboration reads as a love letter to the modern world’s obsession with artificial intelligence. There are haunting layers of existentialism to unpack here, and Lux’s delicately detailed production paints it perfectly. Opening with sparkling flourishes of piano into a gentle drum groove it’s hard not to get immediately swept up in their fantasy world.

If you’re a fan of artists like Caroline Polachek or Portishead this is a hidden gem you won’t want to miss.
