POP FUTURISM
MEN 'S FOLIO Singapore|May 2021
Cayenne and Rui Ho are self-made electronic musicians who have evolved the Soundcloud sound into the mainstream — bringing together new emblems for the nostalgia-obsessed generation with gritty, iconoclast renditions of the pop genre.

POP FUTURISM

In a YouTube video from late October 2020, a 23-year-old musician known now by her alias as Cayenne glitches from a living room to a park as a pixelated pop track plays in the background. She continues the motif of warping into different objects while luminous yet vile and heavily synthesized kick drums interrupt her interpretation of a heartbreak song. At just two and a half minutes long, the fashion is an amalgamation of multiple electronic genres — glitch pop, gabber, and trance-pop — made popular from the late 1990s to the early 2000s. The result is a sound that instantly propels one into complete disarray, yet spurs the mind into complete ecstasy at the same time.
