To herald the news, she has released the EP’s lead single ‘Never Lose’. Featuring Spent, ‘Never Lose’ is a hard hyperpop-esque techno beat that muses gender fluidity and messing with binaries.

As a whole, ‘Angelica’ takes its lead from TAAHLIAH’s debut single ‘Brave’, a soft and squeaky clean hyperpop track. Now tender and emotional, now hard and declamatory, it’s a lesson in experimental pop production.
