Take a headfirst plunge into MAX RAD's sultry pop on new track "Carousel"
London's MAX RAD weaves velvety vocals with sultry, submerged synths on dreamy debut track "Carousel".
Entwined with funk-tinged warps that feel like you're coming out of a short vertigo spell, MAX RAD contradicts the romantic instrumentals with the track's meaning.
The underlying tone is undeniably seductive, and contrasts with the realisation that the relationship described in the track is one-sided.
Explaining new track "Carousel", MAX RAD stated, "This is not a love song, it's about power - a woman toying with a boy's infatuation for her. He can't see he's being played like a fool.”
Layered with silky harmonies and a slow-groove beat, MAX RAD takes flight, and makes the complications of building a relationship seem a distant memory.
