mermaidonmars, the Netherlands-based artist, captures something almost otherworldly—this perfect balance between raw edge and weightless beauty.
Her latest single weaves these contrasting elements into a cohesive sound that’s absolutely unmissable.
"Birthday Party Crash" is alt-pop distilled to its essence. The layered synths shift from haunting wails to delicate sparkles in mere moments, creating this dynamic soundscape that keeps you guessing.
The vocal production? It’s heavily pop-influenced yet ventures into experimental territory. There’s this satisfying key change near the end that literally transports you straight into the chaotic birthday celebration she’s describing.

The accompanying video is both eerie and atmospheric—putting her signature off-beat dreaminess through a different lens. We watch her navigate alone through this warm-lit space filled with decorative clothing, and somehow it draws us deeper into her unique artistic universe.
