New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Vocalist, songwriter and producer Cold Hart is back with a new single titled "Candlelight Pt. 2" out today via Epitaph Records. This marks his first new music since 2022's mixtape The OC Season 3 which features collaborations with alternative rap collective GOTHBOICLIQUE, including friends and collaborators Wicca Phase Springs Eternal and Lil Peep.
A reimagining of "Candlelight" from The OC Season 3, for "Candlelight Pt. 2" Coldy recruits longtime collaborator and GOTHBOICLIQUE member YAWNS on the beat. The self-described "gothic lullaby" pairs delicate keys and sparkly synths with trap bass and a drowned-out vocal reverb. Cold Hart explains, "2015 with a new attitude. First single off my new 'Pretty In the Dark' LP coming later this year."
Cold Hart has consistently been on the cutting edge of alternative hip-hop and rock since 2013, now with over 1M monthly listeners and over 3M streams per month. As co-founder of the seminal emo rap collective GothBoiClique (Wicca Phase Springs Eternal, Lil Peep, Horse Head, Døves, JPDreamthug, Lil Tracy, Mackned, YAWNS, fish narc,) the Filipino-American artist pairs rap with seemingly unrelated genres like emo, gothic rock, and even country, to mystify and delight music fans alike with his genre-defying sound.
He's released a number of singles and definitive vocal mixtapes such as 2016's 'OC Season 1 & 2' and 2017's 'Downer' before exploring a new sonic territory on his full-length debut studio album 'Good Morning Cruel World' (2019), follow up, 'Every Day Is A Day' (2021) and career spanning mixtape 'OC Season 3' (2022).
Cold Hart is set to join fellow labelmates The
Drums on a North American tour this summer, kicking off on July 12 in San
Diego and coming to an end on August 18th in San Francisco.
