Berlin (Germany)- based alternative/dark electro newcomer Mintage released his second single, "Rag Doll," via Out Of Line Music. Fusing emotional vulnerability with dark electronic textures, Mintage blows fresh wind into the alt-electro scene with his brand new single. This track is upbeat and energetic yet dark and raw, a perfect representation of this newcomer artist's musical palette.
Mintage is one of the darkest and weirdest freaks you can think of. Merging dark bass, thrilling atmospheres and edgy melodies with elements of electronica, dark art, hyperpop and alternative.
Mintage comments: "'Rag Doll' is a raw confrontation with what it means to be truly connected. Mirror two inner voices: one that finds solace in unwavering trust - a warmth reminiscent of that cherished plush friend - and another that bears the scars of abandonment, like a discarded toy."
Every line in "Rag Doll" forces a question: What does it take to be a real friend? Do you have the grit to accept both the sacrifices and betrayals that come with loyalty? There's no sugarcoating here. Rag Doll is a reminder that genuine loyalty isn't a commodity - it's earned through struggle, honesty, and the messy reality of human connection. Link
