Fake Dad’s New Bilingual Single is ‘So Dramatic!’
"So Dramatic!" exemplifies a minimalist alt-pop approach, characterized by a distorted, bass-dependent arrangement. The track displays eccentric spoken-word bilingual lyrics, confidently delivered with an unbothered tone, and conveys a message that embraces shamelessness, cavalier spirit, and unabashed imperfection.
LOS ANGELES, CA (August 10, 2023) – Indie-pop duo Fake Dad has experienced a remarkably prolific year, and their upward trajectory continues unabated as they release their new single "So Dramatic!" available on all major streaming platforms now. The single serves as the final prelude to their forthcoming EP, Yerba Mala, set to release in October. The track, characterized by its bratty bravado and sardonic delivery, serves as an anthem for those who celebrate and take pride in experiencing their emotions deeply. As a first-generation Cuban American and fluent in Spanish as her first language, lead vocalist Andrea de Varona infuses the track with Miami Spanglish. The lyricism and production masterfully portray a paradox: while its message revolves around personal melodrama, its musical demeanor remains peculiarly nonchalant. The track exudes a delightful playfulness and a tongue-in-cheek charm that creates an almost flirtatious and enticing atmosphere. As the track unfolds, it personifies the unfettered liberty and directionless spirit of young adulthood. Fans can expect sounds reminiscent of artists such as Wet Leg, LCD Soundsystem, and The Marías on Fake Dad’s new single.
"So Dramatic!" was written and produced by Fake Dad, with mixing expertly handled by Daniel Neiman, who also mixed their previous single “Imaginary Friend.” When discussing the significance of having the track in both English and Spanish, Fake Dad passionately emphasized, “Being bilingual and not fully Spanish was very intentional because we're trying to capture the identity and existing duality of being a Hispanic person in America who may have grown up speaking primarily one language at home but largely another in the outside world.” In a world that pressures women to be quiet, inoffensive, and composed throughout their lives, embracing one's messy and perhaps even slightly unstable nature becomes an empowering nonconformist act, especially when unapologetically embraced. Fake Dad hopes listeners, despite the messiness of one’s circumstances and the unjust accusations of being over the top, embrace their individuality and radiate their dramatic charm with this new single.
