Rainbow Kitten Surprise finds harmony in unpredictability, weaving together lyrical poetry, hummable melodies, and a rush of instrumental eccentricities. The forthcoming album LOVE HATE MUSIC BOX, led by singer/songwriter Ela Melo and guitarists Bozzy Keller, Ethan Goodpaster, and drummer Jess Haney, represents a brand-new awakening for the North Carolina-bred quartet. After overcoming mental health struggles leading to writer’s block and tour cancellations, Ela Melo’s proper diagnosis in 2023 sparked a creative outpouring of songs, forming the backbone of their 22-track opus. Produced by Daniel Tashian and Konrad Snyder along with Melo, the album delves into life’s ups and downs, portraying relationships in hues of pop, electronic, rock, and hip-hop.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise, with over 2 billion global streams, built their loyal fanbase with independent albums SEVEN + MARY and RKS, followed by the release of their debut HOW TO: FRIEND, LOVE, FREEFALL in 2018. The album featured the RIAA-certified Platinum single “It’s Called: Freefall” and showcased the band’s unique blend of genres. The quartet’s journey reflects a fusion of talents and experiences, embodying resilience, creativity, and the transformative power of music in the face of adversity.
