Rising pop artist Lyn Lapid has collaborated with Gold-selling producer Whethan for their new single “Cruise Control.”

Released yesterday, the new single follows Lapid’s latest EP to love in the 21st century: the epilogue. Lapid said this about the new song, which is out on digital services right now via Mercury Records/Republic Records:

“‘Cruise Control’ is one of those songs that is fun and upbeat but lyrically is a bit darker than you’d expect. I’ve definitely had many moments where my brain goes into autopilot, and I’m mentally floating for extended periods of time. I feel like this affects me creatively where I’m making songs with no meaning, making videos with no substance, and outwardly displaying no sense of direction. Some people find this writer’s block or creative’s block, but this kind of feeling seeps into essentially all aspects of my life. This is what ‘Cruise Control’ is about, being in a state where you sometimes have no clue what you’re doing or what’s happening, and floating around. So this one goes out to all my dissociate-r’s out there.

Working with Whethan on this was so fun—the song originally sounded different, but he brought a whole new life to it, and I am so excited for everyone to finally hear it!”

On May 12, Lapid will perform at Head In The Clouds New York, which also features performances from acts such as Joji, ATARASHII GAKKO!, and the New York debut of BIBI. More information about the festival can be found here.
