Listen to the new single below!
Fresh off the success of her debut EP IDIOT GRL, rising Toronto-born independent artist ARI returns with her latest single "Murderer", out now. The track marks the first single off her forthcoming Halloween-inspired EP Kiss Me, Kill Me, set for release on October 30th.
"Murderer" details a volatile relationship from ARI's past as she reflects on the emotional damage that her partner inflicted on her. ARI's haunting lyricism is juxtaposed with her ethereal vocals, perfectly encapsulating the paradox of a toxic lover. Co-produced by indie pop trio SHAED, the masterminds behind the smash hit "Trampoline", and Herag Sanbalian, "Murderer" experiments with alternative soundscapes and dark themes that elevate ARI outside of the traditional realms of pop music. In describing the song, ARI explains: "'Murderer' is an ode to the pain you feel when a love dies. It's about all of that anger, sadness, and frantic emotion that seems to overwhelm you all at once. It makes you feel crazy. I think at some point, even if only for a moment, everyone has felt that soul-shattering heartache. This song is my way of letting out all of those feelings and hopefully it can do the same for others."Listen here:
