Chad Post brings big summer vibes on new single

New York City-based artist Chad Post takes cues from a range of creative influences, including musical icons such as Lana Del Rey and Bob Marley & The Wailers. With a background in poetry and cinematography, Chad infuses his music with vivid imagery and emotional depth, creating a sonic fabric that’s connected profoundly with listeners.

Since his debut single “Unlovable” in 2018, Chad has swiftly risen through the ranks of the music industry, attracting the attention of eager producers and fans alike. His EP, The Gilded Age, showcased a nostalgic alternative pop sound that earned him significant acclaim from fans and tastemakers alike.

The release of his first full-length album, Delusions of Grandeur, in January 2020, crystallised Chad’s status as a must-watch artist and led to the establishment of his production house, Post + Present Productions. Followed by two more albums, Chad crafted a trilogy of records that told an overarching story, demonstrating his growing vision with each release.

Now, Chad Post returns with his new single “Snap! Crackle! Pop! Music!,” a track perfectly timed to drop during this summer’s scorching heat wave. This energetic single is part of his forthcoming 20-song LP, which features songs from his recent EPs, STATIC and Fresh Reign.

The still-untitled album is scheduled to drop this fall, building anticipation among fans and critics alike. “Snap! Crackle! Pop! Music!” lives up to its effervescent title with a burst of high-energy pop that captures the vibrancy of a summer in full swing.

Launched by the patter of percussive claps, the track slips into an alternative pop anthem capped by chad’s silky smooth vocal leads. With shimmering synths and packed full of hooks, it’s the perfect dose of summer pop that builds the hype for his upcoming full-length record.

Commenting on the track, he shares, “My producer, Aria Jay, and I had so much fun making this record. Summer is the time to let your most poppy and fun songs shine. We actually began this song last summer, but really tweaked it until it felt perfect. I would describe this song as a heat of summer heartbreak banger, and put it somewhere in the category of Fusion Pop. I don’t know if that’s even a genre, but that’s what it feels like to me. A mixture of Hyper Pop, Bubblegum Pop, Indie Pop, Summer Pop, Dance Pop—Fusion Pop! The song is so on the nose and meta that it’s undeniable. We married the sounds of Charli XCX hyper pop and Taylor Swift’s summer pop vibe.”
