Mallrat<\/u><\/a> has long been one of pop\u2019s great collagists. A true child of the internet, her music is a synthesis of her many eclectic influences (Lana, SOPHIE, Drain Gang). But even as she thrillingly combines references and genres, it\u2019s her writing \u2014 always honest, always heartfelt \u2014 that has allowed her to rack up fans around the world. Since she began releasing music in the mid-2010s, she has collaborated with the likes of Azealia Banks<\/u><\/a>, The Chainsmokers<\/u><\/a> and notched big wins like accruing over 500 million streams and performing on late-night.<\/p>\n

Her new album, Light hit my face like a straight right<\/em>, is the culmination of her long road from bedroom artist to superstar. It\u2019s a clear display of an artist at the peak of her curatorial abilities. Sample heavy, genre-expansive and always surprising, the new album shows Mallrat blending her ever present lyrical intimacy with production that feels as fresh and frenetic as ever. Songs like \u201cPavement<\/u><\/a>\u201d pair seemingly discordant samples together (\u201cBorn 2 Lose\u201d by DJ Zirk<\/u><\/a> and \u201cBeg U\u201d by Cub Sport<\/u><\/a>) to create magic in the friction. On \u201cHocus Pocus<\/u><\/a>\u201d she creates a choreo-ready banger (that led her to \u201cfracture [her] arm [while] dancing to the demo”) featuring lyrics that are unrelentingly diaristic.<\/p>\n
