Peppy guitar swipes and gorgeous string infusions lead a fantastic production on “Rich Kidz,” a new single from Phoenix-based artist SURESON. Power-pop, chamber-pop, and rock elements converge with delectable immersion, excelling in both the title-touting string infusions and jangling verses. “The rich kids get what they want,” the central hook exudes, traversing infectiously into observations — “they’re driving their sports cars, a trust fund baby,” — that do more than hint at a class divide.
Plucky vocal effects past the one-turn meld with the strings and vibrant acoustics for a sound fondly reminiscent of MGMT. Similarly, the track never lets up in its melodic charm; it’s firmly replay-inducing in its hooky vigor. Songwriter Tyler Matock captures a compelling, angst-y spirit in the track’s thematic comparisons, while also reveling in a sense of self-confidence via the production’s hooky radiance. “Rich Kidz” is a thorough success from SURESON.
