Bitter on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/70OOddQqUOqzt1wcbRyUoH
Remixes: https://soundcloud.com/i-am-karate/sets/bitter-remixes
“A pop song that is solidly catchy and comes with a hook that doesn’t want to leave your head” – Noisey
“An accessible, tropical-inspired pop song, that feels like a distant relative of ‘Lean On’ by Major Lazer” – The 405
The two remixers for the track include Gabriel Gassi and Illien, who remixed Mavrick’s single. Both pieces are outstanding examples of the spectrum of sound throughout I Am Karate’s music and prove that the pair can conquer different genres successfully. During both remixes, the melody feels familiar with powerful electronic beats, layering of vocals and a tropical house style; therefore the production has similarities to Jungle and even Major Lazer. Vocally, we can instantly draw comparisons to Purity Ring with a hint of FKA Twigs from the soprano tones.
Both Bitter the single and the remixes are out NOW.
