Specyal T and Chasing Sunday didn’t come to play it safe with ‘Automatic’. The neon-stroked electro-pop earworm grips with an irresistible bassline and the illusion of what The Doors might have been if Jim Morrison had stumbled into the synth-pop era with his seductive vocal swagger. Sticky-sweet in all the right places yet sharp enough to cut through the usual pop formula, it’s a track built to cling to the subconscious.
Specyal T, the Toronto-based Caribbean-Canadian musician, composer, and producer, has spent years making waves across North America and Europe. With tracks rotating on CBC Radio 1 and placements in TV and film, she’s made a name for herself by stepping outside comfort zones. ‘Automatic’ keeps that tradition alive. It’s more than a drenched-out dose of euphony—it flips the script on image-based prejudice while celebrating diversity with an eccentric edge that few dare to take on.
In a world as fractured as ours, ‘Automatic’ isn’t just another pop hit—it’s an essential earworm capable of filling the empathy void that has become a global endemic.
‘Automatic’ is out now on all major streaming platforms, including SoundCloud.
