Ben T Kadar is a singer/songwriter from Budapest, Hungary. His music is around the edges of electronic pop/R’n’B with a lot of influences of hip-hop, lo-fi hip-hop and trap. His lyrics are usually self-exploring, most of them are about how he gets to know himself and his relationships with other
people.
His new album ‘Brute’ is about the hardships of being a hot headed young man today. The album represents this theme with a pop/hip-hop sound fused with edgy distorted synths.
In his visuals you can find funny, shocking and sometimes obscure trash elements. He released a number of collaborations with artists and electronic music producers from Germany, France, Switzerland and Slovenia and United States.
About the song: Eastern Boytoy is the product of long night conversations with friends about everyday life in a city. We talked about how all the trends and the aesthetics start to feel like they’re bleached out, how many people have become elitist snobs based on their interest, and how we’re too young to reach out for nostalgia. So I decided to write harsher lines than usual and stir things up a bit.
I made up a character in the song who feels out of place and the need to fit in while criticising the group he’s surrounded with. At the end he would be okay with a sugar mommy buying him out of this reality, even that would be better than what he’s in now.
The plan was to do something controversial that pushes the message through to an audience who could relate to these feelings and conversations.
