Colette Carr delivers a hyper-saturated blend of pop-rap and electronic dance music that feels like a night out in Malibu captured in a bottle. Her sound is defined by a distinct 'Cherrytree' sheen: crisp, digital, and unapologetically commercial. It is music that lives in the intersection of a hip-hop club and a synth-pop festival, driven by heavy basslines and shimmering, sawtooth synths.
What sets her apart is the contrast between her deadpan, rhythmic rap delivery and the soaring, often breathy pop hooks that anchor her tracks. There is a playful, almost bratty confidence to her lyricism that perfectly matches the maximalist production. It is the sound of the early 2010s blog-pop era refined into something sleeker and more aggressive.
Start with 'Never Gonna Happen' to hear her at her most infectious, or dive into 'Bitch Like Me' for a taste of her more assertive, rap-focused side. Her debut album Skitszo serves as a comprehensive time capsule of her genre-blurring approach to electronic pop.
