Felix Cartal Is Back With Songstress Kiiara in New Uplifting Loser Anthem “Happy Hour”
What happens when you take an established veteran in the game and slam them together with a budding newcomer? On a much overdue trip over to Physical Presents we are checking out “Happy Hour”, the latest single from Felix Cartal and Kiiara. Felix has been busy, with multiple standalone productions with other producers including successful producer Kaskade. Felix will also be touring internationally so everyone will be able to see it sometime soon. Due to his most recent success, Felix has even garnered over 45 million streams over on his Spotify! Felix Cartal has been a consistent staple in the Modern Neon cycle, winning us over with his previous hits “Over It” and “Love Me“. Clearly, Felix, you are doing something right and we want to keep seeing Felix Cartal find success and grow as an artist. Kiiiara immediately hit the ground running, with her debut single “Gold” reaching #5 on Billboard’s US Top 40 and amassing over 675 million worldwide streams. She has now amassed over 2 billion streams globally and across all platforms and has no intention of slowing down.
“The idea and lyrics for this song were created during a writing session in Norway. I think my time in Scandinavia was really beneficial to my songwriting process because they have this effortless approach to pop writing. We had a breakthrough when we started thinking of juxtaposing ‘Happy Hour’ with darker lyrics. It kind of all fell together once we figured out how to attack it, and I dub it my ‘uplifting loser anthem.’ It felt sort of pop, but sort of unconventional, and to have Kiiara feature on it was unreal because I felt that her pop music has that same unpredictable quality.” – Felix Cartal
“Felix and I have been meaning to work together on an original song of our own for years. I’ve always been a fan of his work. I remember him sending me a remix of my song ‘Feels’ a few years back and I was blown away. I’m really excited about our new song ‘Happy Hour.’ It’s a melodramatic emo anthem (lol that’s both of our specialities).” – Kiiara
While he may have taken a little bit of a break from the music industry, Felix Cartal is back in full force with a collaboration to kick-off 2021. Utilizing Kiiara’s talented vocal work and lyrical writing, Cartal carefully crafted “Happy Hour” into a unique “loser anthem” for those who embrace unconventional pop. Choosing to casually sidestep traditional norms for the music industry, both Cartal and Kiiara lean back and let their creativity take the wheel determined to follow the road that lay ahead until their destination. While we have been incredibly excited to see how artists are using their momentum through 2021, but a surprise Felix Cartal drop is exactly what we needed. A mainstay in our rotation for a very long time, we can’t wait to see what else Cartal has cooking in the production queue.
