Alt-Pop Duo Rubber Return With New Music Video For “Fries & Wings”
Alt-pop duo Rubber have made a name for themselves courtesy of their addictive fusion of R&B, funk, hip-hop, jazz, and pop. The Philly-based writing-producing duo made up of singer-lyricist, Andrew Loper, and producer/multi-instrumentalist, John Della Franco have unveiled their new single and video for “Fries & Wings”, showcasing their signature sound.
“This song is my Mariah Carey slow-groove club anthem” says Andrew, who counts ‘The Emancipation of Mimi’ as one of his strongest influences. “We want this song to feel like that moment during a wild night out where you access a sliver of peace, when you feel at home in the chaos of a drunken crowd”.
“Fries & Wings” takes elements of 90s-2000s R&B and repackages them with a more modern approach. It employs a simple catchy chord progression played on a rich and warm electric piano, complemented by Andrew’s complex driving lead vocal, all glued together by an energetic drum machine pattern and a glossy bass line.
