88Rising’s pan-genre collective 1999 WRITE THE FUTURE already released their debut album hella (˃╭̣ ╮˂̣)✧♡‧o· ̊ this year, and the flow of new music has not stopped. Last week they teamed with Rich Brian and TiaCorine on the Miami bass-infused “PUMP IT UP ε=┌(^_^)┘.” Now Deb Never, a known to meld styles herself, has showed up on new single “WhAT yoU WaNT.” The track is a percolating pop-rock tune with an anxious streak. It reminds me a bit of Gorillaz’s “Feel Good Inc.,” but with more of a high-strung pop aesthetic. “I keep running away,” Never sings repeatedly. Hear it below along with last week’s track.
