Emotronic Artist Rich Delinquent Reveals ‘Here’s To Dystopia’ EP – out now

Rich Delinquent has proven himself as a rising pop sensation from Australia who’s earned acclaim from elite tastemakers such as جوش اور Earmilk for his cyberpunk-esque motifs and emotronic sound.

Building upon the success of recent singles “Speak Up ft. Emmy Mack” and “Chica Diablo ft. 12am,” Rich Delinquent is excited to unveil his newest EP, ‘Here’s To Dystopia,’ out today.

“When you find yourself diverging from society’s expectations and start embracing the chaos within, it’s time to embrace it fully. Introducing “Here’s To Dystopia!” – a four-track EP crafted to help you connect with your inner Delinquent.” – Rich Delinquent

Tracklist:

1. “Here’s To Dystopia” ft. Riley

2. “Speak Up” ft. Emmy Mack

3. “Chica Diablo” ft. 12am

4. “Where’s The Exit” with Lakeland

The EP starts with the title track featuring Riley, a haunting exploration of societal disillusionment and the pharmaceutical industry’s impact on mental health. The lyrics boldly declare, “Stop, society has let us down. Stop medicating until we drown. I will only sabotage myself… Here’s to dystopia, we’re in control of ya.” Rich Delinquent fearlessly calls out the issues plaguing society and the detrimental effects of overmedication.

The emotionally raw “Speak Up” features Emmy Mack (lead singer of popular rock band Redhook) and takes listeners on a heart-wrenching journey through a breakup. With lyrics like “How do you speak up in silence? I know that I killed the romance,” Rich Delinquent exposes vulnerability and emotional depth complimented by soft, somewhat distant melodies that sway back and forth.

“Chica Diablo,” featuring Billboard charting pop artist 12 am, fuses future bass and rave elements with a heart-pumping beat. Melodic Mag shares that it “masterfully merges R&B, pop, and alternative rock elements, weaving a moody and haunting atmosphere, that delves into depths of desire, manipulation, and intricacies of human connection.”

Capping off the EP is the pop anthem “Where’s the Exit,” a collaboration with the rising Aussie band Lakelend. The track delves into the realms of yearning, addictive desires, and the risk of falling in love, all set against a backdrop of moody, infectious melodies and a compelling pop beat.

Known for his vivid songwriting and mesmeric production, Rich Delinquent yet again delivers a fresh and forward-thinking release to the emotronic genre with ‘Here’s To Dystopia’. He’s drawn comparisons in the past to The Weeknd, especially from his iconic House of Balloons era, and rightfully so, as his production with gripping narratives have set him apart from the rest, solidifying his position as one of today’s brightest emerging pop stars.
