[TuneOTD] Unicorn Kid - BOYS OF PARADISE

Artist: Unicorn Kid
Genre: Dance/Pop
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland. UK
Label Type: Indie
Record Label: Ultra Records



Bouncing his way across the globe donning a magnificent lion hat, from Edinburgh, Scotland comes Unicorn Kid with his brand new single ‘Boys of Paradise’.

This track has the feeling of a summer holiday crossed with an underwater escapade. It is the second song off the appropriately and inventively titled Tidal Rave EP, and follow up to the highly acclaimed single 'Chrome Lion'; the first of the three-track offering.

As expected with Unicorn Kid, the basis revolves around a healthy dosage of high-octane synthesisers and keyboards to produce a wonderful exhibition of 8-bit dance pop music. The chip tune producer creates a real feel good factor on this one which oozes quality and a faraway sense of sunny sands, palm trees and tropical seas. This emphasis on the underwater is clearly evident on the whole EP and is even reflected in the blue-top-mop of 19-year-old Oliver Sabin.

With regards to the song itself, there is a pleasant sounding addition of a youthful choir towards the end of the track entering after the most uplifting of passages.

The track is bound to get Oli’s “seapunk” faithful smiling, dancing, raving and even swimming with approval. Make sure you keep your eyes open for the third and final instalment of the free-to-download Tidal Rave EP in the coming weeks, titled ‘True Love Fantasy
