Seattle-based electronic artist US3R returns with Hatesong, a striking preview of his upcoming 2025 album DOPAM1NE. Merging neon-lit synthwave, industrial pop grit, and sharp-edged lyricism, Hatesong pulsates with the raw energy of frustration turned into anthemic defiance.
US3R, known for his genre-blurring approach, crafts a soundscape that’s both immersive and confrontational. Layered synth textures swirl around commanding drum patterns, creating a track that thrives on its own tension. The contrast between the hypnotic beats and his controlled vocal delivery adds to the song’s eerie allure—it’s the kind of track that lures you into its world and refuses to let go.
Lyrically, Hatesong thrives in the space between anger and empowerment. It’s a cathartic release, transforming digital-age cynicism into something danceable. With bass-heavy grooves anchoring its restless energy, the track feels like a late-night drive through a cyberpunk cityscape—equal parts menacing and intoxicating.
As the first taste of DOPAM1NE, Hatesong suggests that US3R is diving deeper into themes of technology, emotion, and the fractured realities of modern life. If this track is any indication, 2025 is set to be a year where electronic music gets a much-needed jolt of adrenaline.
