Fresh off producing 5 tracks from Oliver Tree’s debut album Ugly Is Beautiful, electronic music’s wunderkind Whethan is back for yet another single, enlisting indie singer and songwriter K. Flay for “Hurting On Purpose”. The forward-thinking song follows acclaimed singles such as “So Good” with rising pop star bülow, “All In My Head“ with Grandson and “Upside Down” with Grouplove, all taken from Whethan’s forthcoming album PARADISE.
Whethan continues doing what he does best on “Hurting On Purpose”, combining indie and alternative aesthetics with electronic sounds. The single is driven by K. Flay’s charismatic vocals over high-energy drums and fat basslines, before acoustic guitar chords lead to a minimal and quirky drop, dominated by massive 808 hits and vocals samples.
