Distraction is the default — bad news here, naysayers there. The noise can drag us down, or we can rise above. Chinese-American producer Helang takes the high road in ‘ADHD’, a pumping techno heater that drives focus with a hypnotic bassline before dialing up the defiance across raw vocals that clap back at the bullshit.
It’s a fiery club cut that confirms the Brooklyn-based artist has her eyes on the prize after fine-tuning a melodic aesthetic into one that’s darker, bolder and undeniably more confident.
Behind sass-licked lyrics lies a message: those who have haters are doing something right. For Helang, ‘ADHD’ is that something.
