Multilingual, multinational worldpop superstar-in-waiting Raissa releases her Cute Threat EP and a music video for the track “Cute Threat” here on Neon Gold Records. Born in Spain, Raissa inherited a mastery of French and Spanish from her parents and a love of songwriting from Leonard Cohen. She spent her childhood between Beijing, Sydney, Kuala Lumpur, and London – as a result, she draws from a deep well of creative influences, everything from antique Gothic literature to vintage anime.
About the EP, she says: “Cute threat is about contrast and contradiction. It’s about being deceptively capable and powerful in spite of how you may be packaged. It’s relishing the fact people don’t see you coming and finding freedom in that. It’s a playful and braggadocious celebration of self”.
