Ella Boh, The Weeknd, Thomas LaRosa+
Want to take a walk on the dark side?
Artists have been exploring a different aspect of pop music lately, with dark pop taking the spotlight. The instrumentals are moody and dramatic, with sensual lyrics that remind you of the high highs and low lows of love and lust.
Big artists like Billie Eilish and The Weeknd have made this sexy production style a mainstay of their sound, while up-and-comers like Ari Abdul and Artemas are making names for themselves in the genre.
The lyrics are just as sensual as the music, with lines about lovers you know you shouldn’t call up, or an all-consuming romance you just can’t do without. From heavy beats and slinky production, to lyrics that detail toxic love affairs, PROVOKR’s Dark Wave SEX PLAYLIST dives into some of the best of dark pop.
