Channelling the sound of our own Swiss Portrait but with a slightly sunnier, more unabashed, electro slant, Murinaj’s new single has an urgent energy and undeniable charm.
For a bedroom pop song, there is definitely a degree of inarguable sheen here. But despite the glimmer, Combat! retains a definite veil of aloofness and intrigue.
That combination of elements has made the artist who created it the subject of much speculation. The song’s credits name its author as Justin Morano, but that is the extent of the information we have about him.
This musical mystery man has crafted one of the catchiest things we’ve heard all year. He averages a release of 1.25 songs per year, and in 2025, he’s released two songs already, so don’t expect anything more from him til January at the earliest, BUT, when whatever comes next does drop, pay close attention.
