Pop-rap duo Cherryade began writing tracks together as teenagers looking for something to pass the time before a night out. Since then, they’ve grown a bit more serious about their music, releasing three songs in the last few months that have started to gain them a lot of attention – ‘Fractured Fairytales’, ‘The Crown’, and now ‘Houdini’.

Having already teamed up with producers like Dimitri Tikovoi and Lewis Gardiner, their sound is already pretty well-formed. There are still some rough edges to their songs, some of which could do with a bit of a polish, but others that will hopefully remain over time.

“‘Houdini’ was written about our experiences with religion and going to a religious school”, say the duo of their latest song. “The priest was later convicted for being a paedophile, the music teacher was apparently fired for cheating on his wife with a male student, and all the time we were the one’s being judged and told what was right and wrong. When you’re young and naive the last thing you need is more people telling you who you should be, and once you’re caught in that web it’s not an easy thing to get out of”.
