The 23-year-old Seattle producer Alda Agustiano, aka Chong the Nomad, is on a hard come up as fans and critics have quickly gravitated towards her skillful, playful and unique blend of experimental and electro-pop style. Now, the young performer has teamed up with Detroit alt-pop favorite Flint Eastwood to deliver a catchy new number "Nothing Else".
Right from the start, we get that signature Chong production style chock full of quirky glitches and skittish beeps and bops accompanied by a good-natured vocal. The love-seeking chorus creates an inviting atmosphere that captivates and has you singing along without even knowing. Flint Eastwood's presence becomes apparent as textured electro-pop synths gently intertwine with the chorus.
"Nothing Else" is a true earworm track that's perfect for any summer playlist. It's quirky and catchy, like much of Chong the Nomad and Flint Eastwood's music. But this latest track is also a great representation of an evolving phase for Chong. As she continues to gain notoriety and popularity, it's a smart play to begin exploring songwriting that adds a bit more pop to the experimental sound she is known for. This will help make her music more approachable to larger audiences and to be considered for various playlists. But "Nothing Else" proves she can do this without sacrificing the integrity of the unique sound that first gained her notoriety. Expect some big things from this hungry artist this summer as she sets out on Tour with the dates provided below.
