In their latest single “Modern Tragedy,” Cheat Codes dives into the millennial dating blues, serving up a radio-ready EDM-pop sweet treat that sticks its catchy hooks like confetti on a festival floor.
A Sound Feast Featuring Julia Church
Featuring the sweet melodic vocals of Julia Church, the track attempts to elevate standard club fare with a veneer of emotional depth, but ultimately falls short of true innovation. The Los Angeles trio’s characteristic slick production builds from a pulsing bassline to a predictable crescendo of driving percussion and swirling synths. Church's vocals drive the song’s appeal, infusing the lyrics with a hint of real emotion.
“So here we go again / A night to feel alone.”
