Connor Rasmussen, who goes by the stage name “Spiteful,” just released his most recent single, “Emotions,” which captures the artist’s current sound of exploration.
He started producing music 5 years ago and started releasing them in 2021. Since then, he’s been trying to find his voice and sound, exploring new styles and experimenting with his skills and abilities.
I find music very personal, and it’s not always easy to find the perfect sequence of melodies or alignment of instruments or even the right sound effects and orchestration to transform it all into a song that identifies your character and feelings. Yet, that did not stop the artist from grabbing the attention of the listeners on his Spotify, reaching over 1K listeners every month and some of his songs reaching over 10K play counts. He was influenced by Skrillex and Flux Pavilion, leading him to start with hip hop music that slowly got toned down to a softer pop sound.
The music in “Emotions” is dominated by synths and sound effects with a disco groove and an 80s vibe. It’s a fun, groovy, and upbeat track that you will not be able to resist dancing along with. It’s essentially a love song, where the artist describes the importance of affection to your loved ones and compares it to the most natural and important things like water, air, and anything we need to be able to function well. It’s a light song that will guarantee a shift in your mood, so if you’re having a rough day at work and driving back home, press play, volume up, and dance away.
