A New and Addictive, Edgy Pop Single from Porcelyn

A new single release from Porcelyn gives off a wondrous and edgy soiree of pop overcoats that blend everything from dream, Indie, and even alternative pop into this massive soundscape that you get pulled into, and as this happens, you realize the track is insanely danceable, completely addictive, and find yourself singing that chorus for hours after the song has ended.

"Parasite" features a lot of guitars with this dripping reverb effect on them, which gives the song a great vastness in its undertone, which is something that I really liked because that's where the whole dream-pop aspect really comes in.

It has a lot to do with that spacious and ambient feel that lurks just beneath the surface of the track, and that's done with some smart mixing. A lot of elements of the song itself have some different levels of reverb on them, making the whole thing very wet.

Now, some of these guitars are a little bit more rock but with a funk undertone, while others have a surf kind of vibe, but it all comes together like puzzle pieces.

During the course of the track, there's either a synth or a guitar that plays this little hook behind the vocals. I think it's a synth simply because it's got a really experimental and almost psychedelic waviness to it, but it really adds so much color and flavor to that hook that's unbelievable.

The chorus itself is, as I mentioned earlier, something that gets stuck in your brain, and the only way to satiate it is to go and listen to the song again and again.

There's something vaguely familiar about the track, and I feel like that has to do with how the artist is able to blend old and new school feels and aesthetics together seamlessly.

It's got that great edginess but mixed with that vivacious color and performance, so you have a very poppy and danceable single, but it also boasts that little hint of alternative-pop with the edginess in the guitars, and since.

I love this beat because it's pretty heavy-hitting. It's got a massive snare hit to it that cuts through everything, which is, of course, a staple when it comes to great pop songs, but here, it also builds on that heavy-handed tone.

It does open up and get even more experimental with a few surprises and little Bridges around its corners, and I love that as well; however, the whole thing really just boasts the cinematically driven and uniquely produced soundscape that, although it feels familiar, has something really refreshing about it.

That balance between the guitars and the synth work is what takes the cake here for me. The vocals are great. The vocals perform this set of melodies that are very memorable and also add another texture to the song, which is already lush by the way, and almost feel like they are an instrument themselves.

Some people might call this a pop-rock single because there's a lot of guitars going on, but for me, I feel like it's more of a cross between Indie dream and even commercial pop with that alternative edginess thriving through its veins, giving it a little extra drive.

It also has a great, completely relatable sentiment: "Your love is a parasite."

I dig this too, because underneath all of this action. All the layers of textures, sonically addictive soundscape, and presence, there is truth and honesty that gives the song a lot of character as well.

You have to like a song that has this much fun going on, but is still relatable.

It's even slightly vulnerable if you ask me. Of course, whoever listens may take the song differently, but this, to me, was a clear and present message and sentiment.

This is the kind of song that you should be hearing all over the pop radio waves and I hope that, if this is the first time you hear it, you play it a few times and add it to your playlists because it's so addicting and satiating that you can't really turn away from it.

An absolute banger of a pop single that blends tons of different influences into one well-woven track, check out "Parasite" and turn it up.

Like I said, it's a little edgy and a lot of fun, so move the couch back because you might just end up dancing around your living room to this one.

Remember where you heard this first.
