Kid Moxie & NINA - Crime

Apr 1, 2023 — 1 min read

The synth-pop mavens Kid Moxie and NINA came together for a transatlantic collaboration and recorded the EP Lust. Their latest single, “Crime,” is a seductive track that plays like a movie in your head, which is exactly what the duo had in mind.

“’Crime’ for me is the kind of song that would be playing in a strip club in the original Blade Runner. Like two sirens inviting you to share your fantasies with them, so that they can make your ‘dreams come true.’”
