Sick City Kid Portrait
Sabrina Fuentes’ musical journey has evolved dramatically, transforming from a fuzzed-out New York grunge band that started out a decade ago into something far more electrifying. Now, her Pretty Sick project is charting a course toward dizzying, brain-addled hyperpop, taking listeners on some truly fascinating sonic expeditions.
This evolution is set to reach a fever pitch with her upcoming album, Anarchy. To craft this next chapter, Fuentes has teamed up with the acclaimed London producer Oscar Scheller. Scheller is a name synonymous with innovative sound design, having delivered massive hits for artists like PinkPantheress and Lily Allen, and recently contributed to the critically lauded work on Kelela’s new avatar album.
Bringing Scheller’s expertise to Fuentes’ work promises a collision of raw energy and polished, cutting-edge production. The resulting sound is not just music; it’s an immersive experience that pushes the boundaries of pop, ensuring that every track feels both chaotic and meticulously constructed.
The energy of this new direction is already resonating with audiences. For instance, Fuentes’ earlier single, Pretty Sick – “City Kid”, initially made waves on platforms like Stereogum, setting the stage for the ambitious sonic landscape that is yet to come. The fusion of Fuentes’ unique perspective with Scheller’s sophisticated production skills signals a major shift, positioning her work at the forefront of contemporary hyperpop.
