MR. POPULAR’S NEW SINGLE “POISON” OUT TODAY
LISTEN HERE
NEW YORK, NY (April 26, 2019) — On the heels of millions of streams and countless questions about his identity, the Southern California singer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist—with a brown paper bag on his head (who emotes with Sharpie-penned expressions)— Mr. Popular releases his new single “Poison” today.
Get it HERE via Casablanca Records.
Emblematic of his self-stylized “ADHD pop,” the track oscillates between danceable synthesizers, thick 808’s, and a hypnotic hook. It offers the perfect gateway into his wildly wonderful world and hints at a lot more to come in the near future. He’ll share the track’s music video very soon. Be on the lookout for its debut!
Additionally, “Poison” paves the way for his debut EP, which will drop in the very near future.
Adopting the bag in 2018, Mr. Popular came to life. His first independent single “Mix Up” introduced a new sound and amassed over 1 million Spotify streams in under a couple months. Meanwhile, “Fight It” ignited 2.3 million Spotify streams as he caught the attention of Casablanca Records who signed him in late 2018. Ultimately, he’ll naturally achieve the popularity his name implies through the best way possible—just being himself.
