Midas

Having already made a name for herself as the queen of all things spooky, ari hicks upholds her reign with new sultry single Midas.

With a masterfully bass-heavy production that is brimming with her typically dark pop synths, the track feels like an authentic musical adaptation of the darkly mystical themes of the original Greek myth concerning King Midas. Hicks flaunts her sultry, ethereal vocals through her distinctly candid lyricism; this is expertly manipulated into a narrative here to echo the cautionary nature of the ancient tale, reminding us to find the beauty in the chaos of life. 

Mirroring the mythological Midas – who left everything in his wake dripping in gold – ari’s whole discography is dripping with mystique and seductive melodies. The first track from her latest EP It’s Not That Deep: Part 2, anybody feeling fatigued by the constant joviality of modern pop needs this album as their breath of eerie fresh air.
