BREAKOUT ARTIST ACNE BURSTS ON THE SCENE

‘It all began when I discovered this weird thing called ‘Pimplin’ she explains…’

‘Pimplin’’, apparently, is something that used to be done by ‘Pimples’ which was this weird movement that, stylistically, was most expressive in the 1970s… they had these pink Fedoras and velvet starch-brimmed hats, everything was velvet, pink and purple, you know?.” 

Acne has glistening charisma that oozes out of her as she describes this lost world to us. Her music has mellow undertones and yet has been described by critics as both ‘woozy’ and ‘in your face’.

“Anyways..” she continues “my whole thing was…I’m in here, at home, stuck…parents, cyborgs, robots, meme aunties and agony aunts… and I need to get out, you know? Make myself known and get free. So I developed this inner potion with an outer persona and shell and I made my music as a way to wake society up… then it just exploded from there.”

Acne’s lyrics indeed present a challenge to the thinly-veiled, skin-deep image of normality and order that modern society celebrates as its ‘culture’. 

She’s challenged the recent political interference of Tesla City, Oklahoma where she recently toured: “Round and round the hyperloop, listening to that hyper scoop, makes me hyper, hype or stoop? Never gonna bow to you,” insists her latest single, “Autono-Me”.

And she mocked the disgraced former Paris Mayor “Jacques LeCon” with her 2131 hit “JLC” about his extra-marital affair with a robot servant “Makes sense you fell in love with a robot, who doesn’t have a heart like you..” ouch, Acne. But she has a point; Jacques LeCon was responsible for demolishing much of the remaining social housing on the edges of Paris to make way for a new wave of Robot factories - a brazen act of cronyism that benefitted his friends in the robotics industry to the tune of millions.

“I’m the canary in the coal mine, I speak for those without a voice and I express what’s hidden,” says Acne following the tradition of many great artists before her. 

The irony that Acne’s name and image has an uncanny resemblance to the eradicated teenage hormonal disease also called ‘acne’, seems lost on this budding young talent… “It’s just a name that I felt was true to who I am,” she states with all the confidence that promises a stellar career ready to spread over the face of the earth with limitless potential for growth.
