Cashmere Cat
The long, extensive build up to Cashmere Cat's debut album Wild Love has been an interesting one. An artist formerly known for his left-field-leaning, experimental singles which dabbled with hip-hop and pop influences, singles including the title track Wild Love, Trust Nobody and Throw Myself A Party have seen Cashmere Cat become one of the most in-demand producers in the pop music world, teaming up with everyone from Selena Gomez to The Weeknd. It's something we talked about in-depth rather recently, with the pop music world seemingly taking a new, more experimental direction under the helms of artists like Cashmere Cat and the PC Music collective. 9 (After Coachella), the next tease from Wild Love, really takes this experimentation to the next level, with the producer linking up with MØ and Charli XCX-collaborator SOPHIE for a bubbly, experimental cut that will delight both sides of Cashmere's fanbase. Opening with a tropical-esque melody, 9 kicks into this mellowed-out groove quickly, with MØ's instantly recognizable vocals layered above the crashing production. SOPHIE unexpectedly makes his mark just after the one-minute mark, switching things up for a left-field, club-ready breakdown that clangs and crashes amongst deep kicks of bass. Listen to the single on Spotify below, and stay tuned for more details on Cashmere Cat's new album - set to arrive soon (hopefully).
