Hailing from the streets of England, London, The New Citizen Kane is a music project circling emotional themes. The roots of his music go deeper than you realize, and when you explore the entire discography, you feel things you never knew you could. The artist's latest release, "Ratbag Joy," is a tale of a protagonist going through a rollercoaster in his mind.


When the song starts, you get taken aback by the lyrics that express the inner turmoil of someone teetering on the edge, chasing fleeting highs, and desperately trying to outrun the hollowness within.


"The New Citizen Kane has encapsulated the feelings that are felt by millions of people every day."

While the rhythmic part of the track is bouncy, uplifting, and almost relentlessly cheerful, the lyrics weigh a lot more than you'd expect. The melody has a dark side to it, obviously, but in a very subtle manner. The track has a balance to it. Heartfelt, creatively constructed lyrics complemented by a joyous beat to keep you at bay.
