NYC-based pop artist Chad Post has released his new single, “Snap! Crackle! Pop! Music!” just in time for summer. The song is part of his upcoming 20-song LP, which will feature tracks from his recent EPs, STATIC and Fresh Reign. The still-untitled album is set for release this fall.
Discussing the new track, Post explained, “My producer, Aria Jay, and I really enjoyed making this record. Summer is the best time for upbeat, fun songs. We started working on this song last summer, but we kept refining it until it felt perfect. I’d describe it as a summer heartbreak anthem, and I’d place it in a genre I call Fusion Pop. It blends Hyper Pop, Bubblegum Pop, Indie Pop, Summer Pop, and Dance Pop. We aimed for a mix between Charli XCX’s hyper pop and Taylor Swift’s summer pop vibe.”
Post continued, “My last EP, STATIC, had an optimistic but heavy and dark theme. This new song feels like the follow-up to that, focusing on moving on. Summer always feels like a time for new beginnings, but everything in summer is fleeting—romance, love, weather, seasons, and pop music. Everything leaves you with a sting at the end. This record captures that feeling of enjoying the carefree summer atmosphere, even though you know it’s temporary. It’s like pretending to have a perfect summer romance, even though you know it won’t last. Creating complex metaphors in a fun pop song was a great experience.”
“Snap! Crackle! Pop! Music!” showcases Post’s ability to create songs that are both catchy and meaningful. The single is filled with energy and a playful spirit that captures the vibe of summer. The production by Aria Jay is polished and dynamic, bringing Post’s vision of a multifaceted pop sound to life.
The upcoming album promises to be an ambitious project, featuring 20 tracks that explore various aspects of Post’s musical journey. With songs from STATIC and Fresh Reign, fans can expect a diverse range of sounds and themes. The album aims to showcase Post’s versatility as an artist, blending different pop subgenres to create something uniquely his own.
As summer continues, “Snap! Crackle! Pop! Music!” is set to become a staple on playlists, providing the perfect soundtrack for sunny days and warm nights. Post’s ability to mix catchy melodies with deeper emotional layers sets him apart in the pop music scene. His reflections on the transient nature of summer and its fleeting pleasures resonate with listeners, making his music both relatable and memorable.
