In the realm of musical disruptors, Lynks has achieved near-cult status through three EPs and electrifying sell-out UK tours. Their latest single, “CPR,” acts as a musical defibrillator, blending pop, electro, and edgy undertones. Signed to the esteemed Heavenly Recordings, Lynks offers a tantalizing glimpse into their upcoming debut album, ‘ABOMINATION,’ a fearless exploration of modern queer culture set to release on April 12th.
In collaboration with Josh Baxter (of PVA fame), “CPR” dives into the world of men with saviour complexes. The song cleverly uses its metaphorical title, drawing parallels to the dynamic of self-reduction for the sake of another’s desired protector role. The edgy yet undeniably pop sheen mirrors Lynks’ wild emotional swings between visceral shame and hedonistic delight. Distorted echoes of mid-2000s pop, channelling influences like Kelis and Missy Elliott, further contribute to the song’s unique sonic palette.
The accompanying video intensifies the experience, injecting visual chaos that mirrors Lynks‘ signature style—a perfect blend of humour and intensity. Viewers are left in simultaneous states of shock and awe, a testament to their ability to craft a captivating audio-visual narrative.
Lynks has teased listeners with tracks from the upcoming album, including “SEX WITH A STRANGER” and “NEW BOYFRIEND,” each propelling the artist to new heights. The instant classic “USE IT OR LOSE IT” earned Lynks a coveted Spotify billboard, setting the stage for what promises to be a boundary-defying debut. With each track, Lynks reveals another layer of their prowess, all the more impressive considering these tracks are self-written and self-produced. The anticipation for ‘ABOMINATION’ is palpable, with Lynks set to explore new delivery styles, fresh genre elements, and sweeping narratives.
As ‘ABOMINATION’ looms on the horizon, Lynks embraces a paramedic-like role, injecting new life into the pulse of electro-pop and resuscitating a periodically apathetic UK music scene. The electro-pop heartbeat of “CPR” beats harder than ever.
