Rad Cat continues to provide a soundtrack for feels with his latest release “Levitate” featuring the vocals of burgeoning indie pop artist Armen Paul. The track cements Rad Cat’s duality and ability to express a range of emotions through his production. Coming out of a breakup earlier this year, Rad Cat saw his sound shift towards a darker, more emotional electronic sound, blooming into a self-expression that resonates with fans and “Levitate” is no exception.
“Levitate” opens up with airy synths that quickly spotlight Armen Paul’s honest vocals about falling head over heels in love with someone new as Rad Cat guides listeners through contemplative bass beats and sensitive synth lines. The latest from Rad Cat follows a series of darker releases that appear to be a break from his high-energy future pop sound, allowing fans to experience more than the upbeat Rad Cat productions they’re familiar with. The San Diego native intends to finish out the year with more brooding productions before returning to his cheery tunes.
While the young Mexican-American producer has an impressive resumé of production and remix credits with artists like blackbear, Kevin Gates, Enrique Iglesias, and more, Rad Cathas made a name for himself soundtracking dance floors and even some of your favorite commercials for brands like Nintendo and Samsung.
Most recently, the 24-year-old young gun has spent the last few years honing his own unique sound which expresses a range of emotion that puts his ethereal feels on full display. He’s performed on the stages of CRSSD Festival, EDC Mexico, and Nocturnal Wonderland, as well a hometown show with Space Yacht San Diego.
