AR/CO open their “Cherry Lips”
Pop
Building on their success with 220 KID in 2023 on the track “Wake ‘N’ Shake“, the duo AR/CO are back with cracking new music for 2024 with their new single “Cherry Lips”.
In the space of the 18 months since they released their debut track, AR/CO (Mali-Koa and Leo Stannard) have beckoned a growing fanbase into their escapist, retro-new world.
It’s an experience that encourages everyone to come together as a community and forget about their worries to a soundtrack of utterly uplifting future pop and disco dynamics, all with a touch of alternative psychedelia for good measure. The journey has seen the duo make a continuing impact, twice landing Hottest Record for their collabs amidst broader support for their own tracks, completing a UK/European arena tour with 5 Seconds to Summer and playing a major outdoor London show with Kygo.
But that’s just the first phase of AR/CO’s rise. The duo are set to build upon those impressive foundations and soar even higher in 2024, starting the release of “Cherry Lips”. From its engaging early lyric “We’ll lose our money out in Vegas” ‘Cherry Lips’ is an anthem for free-spirited fun with the duo’s sun-kissed shared vocals exulting all-night partying, falling in love and life-affirming adventures. That liberated vibe is sent into the stratosphere by the maximalist sound: its celebratory chorus supported by instantly seductive melody, blissfully bouncy beats and classic piano house keys.
While AR/CO have only released a handful of solo tracks – including “Night Feels” and “Call Me By Name” – they’ve already generated a strong following with 2.5 million monthly listeners at Spotify alone. Their combination of inspiring positivity, sheer energy and instant earworm hooks has made them one of the UK’s go-to collaborators, with features and collaborations with an A-Z of major names – including Don Diablo, The Stickmen Project, Sub Focus, Tiesto, Kx5, Hayden James, Franky Wah, Will Clarke and Jaded – constantly putting them in the spotlight.
