Cocojoey aus Chicago scheint im Dunstkreis von Angel Marcloid herumzuhängen und liefert wirklich eine irre musikalische Mischung aus Hyperpop, Happy Hardcore, Speedcore, Kawaii Future Bass, Video Game Music und Death Metal. Klingt wild und ja, ist es :)

Unter Strich ist der Dude einfach ein großartiger Keyboard Spieler. Check him out :)

COCOJOEY’S exuberant debut thrums like a rhythm game RPG OST from a parallel universe: present-day dilemmas as dungeon-crawl boss battles, and real life joy as a race across candy-coated synth panoramas. This is a more inviting way to face existential pain – not a facile attempt at escape from it.

Simultaneously refined and relatable, the lyric sheets here loop seamlessly between the reflective and the aspirational. Swallowed together, these tracks present a character creator screen ready to transmute outer darkness into inner liberation, boosting any listener as their own low-poly main character in pursuit of a most elusive level-up: acceptance.
