Our Take

Prepare to have your eardrums tickled and your senses tantalised with the latest offering from Singaporean indie band CHEATS. Their second album, cheekily titled XXII, is a delightful hodgepodge of sounds that will have you grooving in your seat one moment and pondering life's deepest mysteries the next.

The album kicks off with the anthemic "Stuck in a Loop", a dizzying blend of shimmering guitars and infectious melodies that will have you hitting repeat before you even realise it. Lead singer Sarah Cheang's ethereal vocals soar effortlessly over the pulsating rhythms, setting the tone for what's to come.

Tracks like "I Don't Wanna Know" and "Control" showcase the band's knack for crafting catchy, radio-friendly tunes with a subtle hint of darkness lurking beneath the surface. Meanwhile, "Dopamine" takes a more experimental turn, with glitchy electronic beats and quirky samples adding a futuristic edge to the band's sound.

But it's on the closing track, "Epilogue", where CHEATS truly shine. A haunting piano ballad that showcases Cheang's raw emotion and stunning vocal range, it's a fitting end to an album that sees the band embracing their inner weirdness and pushing the boundaries of indie pop.

In conclusion, XXII is a bold and exciting step forward for CHEATS, cementing their place as one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the Singaporean music scene in recent years. So go ahead, treat your ears to a musical adventure and give this album a listen. You won't regret it.
