AG Cook: Superstar

PC Music fans have been waiting for the official version of “Superstar” to release since RBMA Festival New York last May, when subversive pop producer AG Cook performed it live—on a grand piano. Originally written as a top-line pitch (aka melody and lyrics) for Zedd, the uplifting song veers away from maximal, over-dramatic EDM and surprisingly reveals an unusually intimate AG Cook. He wields Autotune not as a way to perfect his voice, but as a creative compositional tool mining for unpolished unnaturalness. View the futuristic 3D lyric video here.
