There are seldom artists who have molded and illustrated the sounds and styles that define the future of pop music as much as Kid Trash has over the past few years. The deconstructed yet energetic and bouncy approach to this hip-hop and pop hybrid that is so prevalent within the underground music scene today is due in large part to the influence that they have come to claim with so many of their past releases.
Still moving forward and pushing the scene as far as they possibly can with each successive drop, they have again struck gold with possibly their most tried and true pop track to this day with their newest release “Oxford Street.”
The song goes to show how versatile Kid Trash can be with their approach to any and all musical styles, let alone ones found within the growing scene they helped to establish. This is an upbeat, joyous, and simply exciting track that flaunts its sheer appeal and energy in an all-too-gripping manner.
The instrumental given does all it needs to in its own right by displaying these themes upfront — what with its glistening synth leads, driving pace and structure, and its overall jovial sound and corresponding attitude. It’s the perfect representation of pop music in its current-day form, but with a telling amount of nuance placed upon it due to Kid Trash themselves’ presence atop it.
Their gripping performance from a vocal perspective adds an ideal amount of character to the entire offering as it stands, with those signature crushed vocals standing in such perfect contrast compared to the clean and spotless instrumental throughout its entirety. Each vocal passage given on this track works to elevate whatever section the beat finds itself in to a tee; if nothing else, this sentiment goes to show how commanding Kid Trash is as a forward-thinking force in regards to applying their unique vocal styles upon any style of music they choose.
And with that being said, nothing else could possibly prove their influence any more than considering this fact in full. “Oxford Street” is just one of numerous examples of that notion being put into place, but it certainly still stands out for how enjoyable and entrancing this track in particular truly is on its own.
