Crash Adams is back and are cranking things up regarding connection and carefree joy with their newest single, “Karaoke.” Canadian pop duo Rafaele “Crash” Massarelli and Vince “Adams” Sasso, whose accomplishments on the latter segment of his name are evident by the quality of his singing voice, have solidified a lane in feel-good anthems, and “Karaoke” is perhaps their most infectious yet.
“Karaoke” puts you on a night out with your favorite people, the kind that devolves into an impromptu singalong that turns into one of those unforgettable core memories. However, there’s so much more to it beneath the surface. Penned by an all-star team including Emanuel Kiriakou, Michael Matosic, Teemu Brunila, and the duo, it blends high-energy pop production with something of an undercurrent of emotional nuance. “Karaoke,” produced by Eman & Zhone, urges you to feel.
Crash Adams describes the track as letting go and having fun, but the metaphor slams hardest as two people singing together, falling in and out of step, on the highs and the lows, just like in any real relationship. That chemistry is not only in the lyrics but also in the way the melody rises, falls, and sways, like two voices instinctively locking into their harmony.
The accompanying music video brings it to life with the duo’s signature visual style. It’s dynamic, fast-moving, and brimming with that Crash Adams-style charisma we’ve grown accustomed to, mirroring the song’s message of serendipitous rendezvous and living in the moment.
“Karaoke” possesses a balancing act that is one of its greatest assets as it is simultaneously ridiculous and profound. On the one hand, it’s a full-on bop you’ll want on all of your party playlists. On one hand, it’s a reminder that music has a mystical power to unite people and freeze a moment you never want to see end.
