Glasgow-based, Madrid-born dark pop artist aortarota makes a striking first statement with “Envy,” a tense and electric introduction to her upcoming full-length project, ACCUMULATION. Sitting at the crossroads of alternative rock and dark pop, the track wastes no time pulling the listener into its restless emotional core.
“Envy” thrives on contrast. Gritty, grunge-leaning textures scrape against a sharp, pulse-driven drumbeat that feels built for late-night movement rather than passive listening. There’s an uneasiness woven into the production, intentional and effective, that mirrors the song’s central theme: the quiet toxicity that can creep into our relationships when comparison and resentment take hold. aortarota doesn’t over-explain the feeling; she lets the tension speak for itself.
The beat pushes forward with dancefloor urgency, while the darker edges keep the track grounded in emotional weight. It’s heavy without being cluttered, brooding without losing momentum. aortarota’s delivery adds to that balance, carrying a cool detachment that makes the message hit harder. As the first glimpse of ACCUMULATION, “Envy” sets the tone with confidence and intent. It’s bold, uncomfortable in the best way, and leaves you curious about just how deep this project is willing to go.
