Harlequiin, the creative brainchild of London-based alternative-electronic artist Rory Simmons, just dropped their vibrant anthem "Bite Back." The track features the stunning vocals of Atiya Imani, and honestly? It’s a banger.
Built on pulsing synths and those beautifully scattered beats, this track radiates pure dancefloor energy. There’s something almost sultry about the club vibe it creates—reminds me of Charli XCX in the best possible way.
The production itself? Textured yet high-energy, swaying effortlessly between hyperpop and alternative electronic sensibilities. Imani’s intoxicating, breathy vocal quality brings this refreshing R&B flair that just… works perfectly.
This latest offering channels the bold energy we’re expecting from Harlequiin’s early-2025 debut album Even As She Spoke. It continues to showcase his sonic versatility—that smooth blend of innovation and improvisation that makes Rory Simmons such a fascinating artist to watch.
The renowned session and touring musician turned producer knows exactly what he’s doing here. Each element feels deliberately placed yet spontaneous.
