PARANOiD DJ & Cycoriot - 'Freak' (Hazbin Hotel)

Description:

BUY/STREAM THE SONG: Bandcamp: iTunes: Coming Soon Spotify: Coming Soon Apple Music: Coming Soon A brand new original song based around Velvette, featuring originally created backing music, sound design, visuals and artwork. You've all been asking for it, and doubtless she has too. Despite the numerous challenges that plagued bringing this together more than a year after the other two Vees has their chance to shine, creating 'Freak' was such a fun experience and the final result (I hope) speaks for itself. The aim was to create something akin to another tool used in Velvette's social media reign like an earworm to further her influence. Taking inspiration from multiple aspects of grime music in terms of lyrical flow and structure, along with and the heavy hitting sounds of both garage and bass genres from the likes of Moody Good to reflect Velvette's London influences in her character, the track quickly became one of most complicated bits of engineering I tried to put together. I wanted to make it clear Velvette is using this song as a weapon and I'm super proud of the end result! And to help make that flow a reality, Cycoriot returns to lend their voice and character skills to match the energy of the music. They have consistently proven their mettle at getting into the headspace of their chosen characters in all manner of media from K Pop Demon Hunters to the Hellaverse to EPIC and beyond. Naturally, they provided a ton of inspiration to the lyric writing process and helped me make something that I think really matches the backbone of the Vees. And last, but by no means least, welcoming both Hunter Braly and MrDemoVE for the visuals was a genuine pleasure. Hunter's work as a part of the Helluva Boss team speaks for itself with their highly detailed and crisp character portraits, as well as some of their past fan comics from years back (which I dubbed!). Demo's work on the video editing using those edits is nothing short of magic, especially with how he was able to capture the "reels" and social media feel edit aesthetic along with a healthy sprinkling of animation and hypnosis themes. I really hope you all enjoy, and bring on Season 2! See how many easter eggs you can spot within both the song and video...
