Dramatic pop brimming with contrasts

ARAI

Program

Su 07.04. 18:30 Hotel Kristiania, Lech

Glamour without borders

From a purely visual point of view, ARAI could be mistaken for a quirky “Saltburn” character who likes glittery jackets and would not look out of place in a plush nightclub. All in all, the Viennese multi-instrumentalist loves eccentricity and drama – after all, it’s not for nothing that he named his debut concept album “Drama Pop”.

Electronic house and hip-hop beats meet powerful choral passages and bombastic orchestral elements. Merged with synth sounds and numerous instrumental combinations, the result is a gripping sound of contrasts where anything goes. Lyrically, ARAI draws on his own emotional world and sings about lover’s grief, self-doubt and shyness.

This exceptionally talented virtuoso can even transform cat allergies into a hit. Despite releasing a single of the same name, this drama king is far from being a “Little Stupid Boy”: whenever ARAI is on the label, you’re bound to encounter great entertainment and plenty of glamour. The Arlberg is sure to fall at the feet of this Viennese wonder boy.
