Leaving us clutching our pearls and begging for more.
On SEX DEMON, Only Fire’s clubby production and bubbling sound design complement the raunchy vocals of the underground’s fastest rising stars, leaving us clutching our pearls and begging for more.
Known for his dirty lyrics and squeaky clean production, Only Fire has crafted an EP that hits like a one-night stand — thrilling yet slightly shameful the morning after. Pounding kick drums rip through SEX DEMON, bouncing off each other in club-suited cacophony. In between rumbling dubby basslines, Only Fire’s signature text-to-speech bot serves some of the most vulgar lyrics heard since CupcakKe. With a feature by Gen Z’s hyperpop princess, Cortisa Star, on the track DUMB, glitchy vocal processing grinds and jumps off of Only Fire’s metallic frequencies.
“That boy is dumb,dumb…/ He can’t make me cum, cum…/He so fucking dumb, dumb…/But I still eat his cum,cum…”- Only Fire
The Croatian producer and DJ started making beats at home in his early teens. Since his dirty lyrics garnered mass attention online, he’s headlined Pride at emerging club Elsewhere in NYC and his provocative music has even been picked up by high fashion brands like Paco Rabanne and Fendi. Only Fire’s music uniquely speaks to the luxury world and club kids. With his newest release, Only Fire proves his beats aren’t only for late-night fantasising and grindr texts.
