CORRO and Boy Destroy announce a collaboration from the dark side of hyperpop on new single "Gun To My Head"
Emerging alt-pop artist CORRO is releasing a collaboration with Boy Destroy with new single "Gun To My Head", staying true to the dark side of pop music. The collaboration has been brewing for quite some time and finally happened earlier this year. Boy Destroy had this to say about the single:
- "Gun To My Head" is about being on the knife's edge between ecstasy and despair. Not really knowing where you want to go but at the same time not being able to stay in the place you're in. Corro and I have had our minds set on making something together for ages but for so long we didn't find the right song to tell both our stories. When Corro sent this to me I knew right away that this was gonna be something for both of us."
CORRO recently released the successful single 'All I Need' in collaboration with renowned hyperpop artist Ezekiel. The track, which combines CORRO's signature lo-fi indie pop sounds with an electrifying verse from Ezekiel, has captivated listeners with its infectious whistling hook and CORRO's effortlessly cool vocals. Earlier this year, CORRO released the single 'Show Me Love' showcasing a new direction leaning more toward indie pop than his earlier post-grunge inspired alt-pop.
Since signing with Swedish independent label Icons Creating Evil Art in 2019, CORRO has released a series of groundbreaking singles, an EP, and an album, and later this autumn we'll see a new EP called 'Send Me to Hell'.
