LA-based duo Most Personal blasts onto the scene with unruly brashness on their debut self-titled single "Most Personal." In its title, the track makes a bold statement of artistic identity, a musical reflection that combines chaos and clarity. Branded with the term "gremlin-pop," the duo plays fast and loose with convention, stewing grindy indie pop and hyperpop in a cauldron of darkness and glitz.
The song explodes with production and hooks that are irresistible enough to pull you into their own world. The song builds and builds, with that relentless energy, and by the end, there's a layered, explosive detonation that is equal parts cleansing and chaotic. Most Personal, comprising Lainey Gonzales and Jesús Acosta, creates something new from raw openness.
Their thoughts on jealousy, authenticity, and the exploitative nature of the music industry shine through in a way that is both satirical and sincere. It's about openness, and that feels all the more unsettling given the promotional-heavy nature of today's digital environment. And with "Most Personal," this queer Latino duo not only palm a sound but a world. A world in which pop grins with sharpened teeth and emotions land as heavy as the bass does.
