Straddling the intersection of ethereal pop and club ready bangers is Norwegian producer and artist Maud; the moniker behind the creative mind of Hyperpop sensation Kristen Hoff. Following the opening of her 2023 catalogue in June with comeback single ‘Remind Me’, latest offering ‘Stranger’ is an enveloping dance pop anthem that takes it’s listener on a journey from heartbreak to euphoric catharsis as it swells from sparse ballad to four-on-the-floor club romp.
In her own words she adds,
“It’s about all the messy and uncontrollable feelings you go through after breakup, it describes the feeling of being forgotten by someone you used to be close with. ‘Stranger’ is a pop anthem about all the big feelings in life: anger, confusion, sadness, pain and melancholy. All this messiness is wrapped into a trance and euro dance inspired track that comes straight from my heart.” – Maud
