Debby Friday is a combustable electropop act to keep an eye on this year. She's releasing her debut album GOOD LUCK on March 24 via Sub Pop, and she's already shared the singles "I GOT IT" and "SO HARD TO TELL." Today, there's another new single out called "HOT LOVE" that features wavering, wompy synths, coin-rattling sound bits, and punching-bag drums, as Friday's lyrics capture the rapturous-turned-turbulent nature of intense relationships.

“The song itself is about the karma of relationships," Friday said. "You meet someone, and you idealize them, you project onto them, and they do the same to you, and it’s all fun and games until it isn’t. This way of loving is so intoxicating and combustible and so hot it burns you right up.”
