Acclaimed California musician Christian Lee Hutson has announced his new album Paradise Pop. 10 for release on September 27th on ANTI Records. He also realeased the first track taken from the new album, “After Hours.”

In a perfect example of Hutson’s sparkling, inimitable songwriting skills, “After Hours” finds the protagonist singing from a condominium in a corporatized Heaven, to the woman he misses back on Earth, over a plucky acoustic guitar and shimmering, soft synths courtesy of GRAMMY-nominated musician Shahzad Ismaily. The accompanying video, directed by Meg Ha, captures the melancholy otherworldliness of the track as Hutson drifts through a candlelit house party. This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
