Dead Nature, the singer of Spring King turned solo artist (real name Tarek Musa) has dropped his first track of 2021 in the form of ‘Red Clouds’. It’s an energetic pop track that sings with the euphoric textures that ooze from thick, grainy synths and Musa’s addictive lead vocal melodies. It’s obvious that there is a jubilance and romance connected to the track before you hear a single word, but Dead Nature takes it further, explaining it as being “about those dewy-eyed experiences we have of love, of people moving on, of moments you truly don’t want to end”. Listen out for more nostalgic pop this year now that we know his debut album is ready for release. -Dan Peeke
