Polartropica is the music endeavor of Los Angeles based, whimsical space-pop artist, Ihui (eeway) Cherise Wu. Born in Taiwan yet raised in California, Wu successfully combines quirky pop melodies, futuristic synths and classical string arrangements, creating a genre of bubblegum psychedelia that you’ve never heard before.
Polartropica’s new releases were inspired and affected by events that transpired in 2016. Lead single, ‘Crystal Ramen’ was written after witnessing the breakdown of a friend’s 10 year relationship. Wu confesses, “It was a crushing, slow burning slow motion movie, and the song is dedicated to my dear friend. The narrative is inspired by disconnecting and moving forward from not only harmful relationships but also old ideas we can be attached to”. ‘Crystal Ramen’ features sweeping, cinematic soundscapes and an insight into Wu’s love of movie and theatrical scores.
