CloudKid Presents updog - saw a ghost (Crypto Remix)

saw a ghostis a song any listener can relate to, as it tells the tale of one night on the couch, watching a scary film, with some popcorn to accompany the evening. With its quirky lyrics and bright melody, despite the song’s fearful meaning and accompanying story, it still feels cozy and uplifting, the general essence updog aimed to portray on his latest EP released last month entitled ‘skellies.’ This time, however, updog thought it’d be fun idea to get a ghouly, ghostly creature to add onto the excitement of the track, asking none other than his other-worldly friend and ongoing collaborator, Crypto.

Together, both artists create an alt-pop, electronic hodge-podge of beats and vibes, steady and uplifting with updog’s lyrics and melody, yet, brash and bold in production, as usual in Crypto fashion. Already quirky and bright, Crypto adds an intensity that was needed on the song. updog says, “This is definitely one of my sillier and less serious tracks, but when I sent it to Crypto, they told me they wanted to make it even more bubbly and extraterrestrial. The drop definitely took it there. Actually during it all, I figured I could actually rename the song tosaw an alien’?’

Inspired by the universe-renowned music scene on planet Earth, Crypto has decided to embark on a hell of a musical journey, leaving their home planet to write and release music for mere humans. Released on CloudKid, Crypto thought it would be the perfect label to help them explore a whole new world. Giving full freedom of expression and encouragement to be themselves, Crypto is now able to explore their creativity without limits and show us humans where their outer-worldly music skills can take them next. On the other hand, this is as updog as he has ever been, as he maneuvers between genres, incorporating voice-acting and other music-bending sensibilities and collaborations with unique figures and sounds, as with Crypto on this release. Already orbited and continuously recognized by Spotify Editorial, leading YouTube music curators (MrSuicideSheep, xKito, Nightblue), as well as features on Hilly Dilly, Magnetic Mag and CULTR – it’s safe to say that he’ll be keeping us intrigued by his ever-evolving stories and sound.
