Risks taken often mark an artist’s path at the most notable points. For rising soulstress, Audrey, that point is Comic Sans – a risk worth taking if ever there was one. Noted for the silky vocalism and sultry singles to this point in her career, the new release is a brash and bold change of pace that shines her under a light of quirky, absurdist raps and high energy. Everyone who’s heard her already knows that she’s a capable, emotive vocal force. But her apparent affinity for breaking the mold and trying something new is most surprising in its undeniable success. 

 

From the very beginning, Comic Sans feels nothing like the anthemic slow jams that Audrey has released before. High-fidelity explosions of electro-trap production introduce a new lane of unexpected cadence and thematics. And she kills it. With a featuring verse from Jack Harlow, Comic Sans becomes her most bizarre single to date and rounds her artistry out a spectrum with a much more wide-ranging identity than we could have precited or expected.
