Her 2019 debut album <\/span>Pang<\/span><\/i><\/a> was full of catchy melodies, memorable lyrics and experimental production. Polachek is one of many artists making hyperpop music, which is electronic\/dance music cranked all the way to 11. Think Charli XCX<\/a> or 100 gecs<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Polachek straddles the line between pop and hyperpop, creating songs that play with sounds and production, but not so much that she\u2019ll scare off any Top 40-loving listeners. \u201cSo Hot You\u2019re Hurting My Feelings<\/a>,\u201d her biggest hit yet, is a good example of this.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Polachek has been relatively quiet this year, but she couldn\u2019t let us finish 2020 without giving us something. Last week, she released \u201cBreathless,\u201d a cover of the Corrs\u2019 2000 hit<\/a>. It\u2019s a song that she has frequently performed live, so fans were excited to get an official studio version. Polachek\u2019s version obviously updates the track, with futuristic pop production and distorted vocals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If, like me, you are impatiently waiting for her next album, don\u2019t worry; she has announced plans to release a collection of <\/span>Pang<\/span><\/i> remixes early next year. The collection will include collaborations with <\/span>George Clanton<\/a>, Chino Moreno<\/a> and Toro y Moi<\/a>. Even though it\u2019s not new music, it\u2019s still something. Guess it will have to tide us over until Polachek\u2019s next album.<\/span><\/p>\n
