A. G. Cook drops off a new song titled Lifeline. Available for download and streaming, the new song is just a fresh tune you would love on first listen. The music producer worked on “Cross You Out” by Charli XCX and Sky Ferreira and is also Charli’s co-executive producer alongside Charli herself.
Cook’s style of music amplifies the clichés of mainstream pop music from the 1990s and 2000s. He follows the work of “mega-producers” such as Max Martin and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Cook references Scritti Politti’s album Cupid & Psyche 85 for its “conscious decision to take pop music and make it as shiny and detailed as possible”. He cites Korean and Japanese pop music as influences, as well as gyaru subculture.
Take a look at my soul
Try to dip it in gold
So they tell us lay low
Turn the key and let’s go
