Qisha's Fantasize Mixtape Draws on ABBA and Queen
Malaysian-British artist Qisha's mixtape debut Fantasize blends ABBA-influenced pop with horror-tinged experiments, according to a review.
Qisha is a Malaysian-British artist who approaches pop with almost surgical precision. Qisha has openly admired Swedish pop icons ABBA.
The lead track of Fantasize is "YDH", which pulls some cues from ABBA's "Mamma Mia". The reviewer found "Question of the Day" serviceable but more lethargic than sensual, and indistinguishable from a mid-tier Dua Lipa cut.
"Baby Girl" is the third track and shows Fantasize won't stick to one shade of pop. "He Likes Boys" is a false-start ballad. "So Sad So Hot" has arpeggiated synth lines with glimmers of Queen's "Radio Ga Ga".
"Possessed (in a hot way)" and "Cry About It" are the album's most captivating and experimental moments and flirt with horror themes. "Possessed (in a hot way)" references spooky season staples, including the game "light as a feather, stiff as a board". The reviewer concludes Fantasize is an incredibly self-assured piece of work with polished pop power.
