Erich Mrak is back with a new single ‘Girls’ this week. Praised for being the ‘melodic Post Malone’ by numerous influential blogs, the Toronto-based artist continues to experiment with his artistry, pushing the limits of both the alternative pop and hip hop genres. Executing a variety of styles, Mrak never loses his unique expression and sound with an infectious rhythm and relatable lines. His influences come from where he’s been, and where he currently is in life.
‘Girls’ is the first single from his upcoming album ‘Glimpse’. Speaking of the influences behind the single, Erich Mrak said: “The influences behind Girls lie somewhere between Post Malone, Tame Impala, and The 1975. With the guitar-heavy production, processed vocals, and content derived from interpersonal relations. While the context of “Girls” centers around a recent heartbreak, the core message of the song lies in the supportive dynamic friendship plays in encouraging someone they can do better.”
With the release of several singles throughout 2019, Erich Mrak has amassed over 400K streams across multiple platforms. He has also been named as ‘one of the standout artists of the year’ by various people in the music industry, encouraging Erich to challenge himself even harder since the start of the COVID 19 quarantine. He has been recording live performances in his living room, intending to release them between single releases over the next few months. We look forward to hearing them!
