The New Citizen Kane presents Causing a Commotion, a late-summer EP that acts as both a standalone release and a bridge into his upcoming project PSYCHEDELIKA. Built on soft synths, hypnotic beats, and a mix of disco energy with melancholic tones, the EP carries an emotional weight while staying dance-floor ready. It introduces listeners to Kane’s ability to balance vulnerability with groove, creating music that feels deeply personal but still accessible to anyone who has lived through messy emotions.
“Subconscious” is the clear standout, unfolding as a whispered confession wrapped in pulsing rhythm. Inspired by an unexpected attraction, it captures the tension between desire and restraint with two distinct mixes — the Reason Radio Mix, which feels steady and thoughtful, and the Primordial Radio Mix, which leans into urgency and heat. The rework of Aaliyah’s Are You That Somebody reimagines the classic with dreamy textures, layering nostalgia with electronic haze that makes it feel timeless and fresh at once. “Bubble Gum Hot” takes a different angle, playful on the surface but with a bittersweet edge as it speaks to holding onto a fantasy long after it has lost its sweetness.
Elsewhere, “Ratbag Joy” delivers a raw alternative edge, while “Hearts Aren’t Made of Wood ‘25” dives into tender reflection, highlighting Kane’s lyrical vulnerability against modern production. “Meet Me On Street Corners (Synthphonica Radio Mix)” adds shimmering synth layers that bring warmth and movement, closing the collection with a feeling of open-ended possibility. Together, the tracks shape an EP that is not just a preview but a strong standalone project, showing Kane’s growth as an artist unafraid to experiment with sound and sentiment.
