"Flashlight (Turn Me On)" is a bass-heavy, minimal pop track that evokes the feeling of traversing a dark, suburban backyard. The song features whispered vocals layered over a slow trap rhythm, complemented by glitchy textures that create an atmosphere steeped in desire and tension. Cute Door, who hails from Upstate New York, crafts her sound with themes of voyeurism and intimacy, making her an ideal artist to kickstart this new phase for b4.
Much to the delight of dead-eyed, toothy-grinned CEOs, AI is steadily coiling around the music industry's throat. It's ubiquitous: Hip-hop producers are turning computer-concocted samples into viral sensations, record labels are licensing their catalogs to companies like Klay and Udio, and data-center slop is topping the country charts. It's so woven into our reality, it wouldn't be surprising to see a troupe of brewery chooglers cover a Velvet Sundown song sometime soon.
