London-based Chinese musician Caslean is set to release a new animating and luxuriant single, “Heartbreak Discoteque”. The single brings together a live-feel that progresses into an elegantly produced instrumentation and a catchy hook that feels universal in its appeal. Featuring a groovy bassline and equally infectious drum rhythm, alongside a gorgeous pairing of sparkling synth and guitar lines, the track will be sure to pick you up and leave you wanting more.
Speaking about the new single, she says, “It’s a song about the sparkle between a naive girl and an experienced man. The girl wants to give out all of her sincerity, energy, and love; but the man just hurts her feelings, steps back, and doesn’t want to go further than that night. The choruses are designed as empty without words or meanings, but only with ‘balabla’. It’s a very emotional expression of feelings for that girl. Also, it’s designed to be a live environment for the first part and a studio environment for another 2 parts to have a contrast between shyness at the beginning and confidence in the end.”
Caslean has shown her uniqueness in her songwriting as she mixes female fragmented feelings and growing pains with dreamy naivety and energetic sweetness. After gaining streaming traction in China, Caslean has been interviewed by major tastemakers such as Vogue China and showcased by the Wire, Notion and Selfridges media, highlighting her highly individual attitude to both music and fashion.
“Heartbreak Discoteque” offers up another track from Caslean that defies the ordinary and injects the listener with glamour and joy. Caslean’s refreshing take on indie-pop will see her go straight to the top.
