Whethan ft. K.Flay Hurting on Purpose

Acclaimed producer Whethan continues his collaborative vision, recruiting indie-pop-rock star, K.Flay for his latest single 'Hurting on Purpose'. The new rock-influenced track highlights Whethan's effortlessly cool, alt-electronic production and K. Flay's floating yet powerful vocals. 'Hurting on Purpose (ft. K. Flay)' marks the latest release from Whethan's forthcoming debut album, FANTASY.

 

Whethan has racked up over 800 million streams and has been churning out banger after banger, including acclaimed singles 'So Good (feat. bülow),' 'Upside Down (feat. GROUPLOVE),' 'All In My Head (feat. grandson)' and 'Stay Forever (feat. STRFKR)'.  Each track is featured on Whethan's forthcoming debut album and have been met with widespread critical acclaim and showcase the versatility of the rising producer. Earmilk stated, "turning his hand to a multitude of genres with masterful ease, Whethan's style is becoming less about the genre and more about the distinctive dance-inspired energy that remains ever present through his stellar back catalogue" and EDM.com added to the praise with, "All signs point toward him eventually taking on a monster role within the industry…"

SPIN recently named 'All In My Head (feat grandson)' as one of the best songs of 2020 so far, stating, "Electro-pop producer Whethan lets his punk side shine on this two-and-a-half-minute heart racer. Wits are abandoned on the crunching, overripe bass…while Grandson's angsty, apathetic vocals drip with the cocky attitude of disaffected youth." Billboard also hailed the track as "an alt-bop explosion good enough to leave on repeat…"

Whethan has quickly become one of electronic dance music's most in-demand artists, spanning superstar collaborations, blockbuster remixes, and his own extraordinary solo output. The 21-year-old has unleashed a steady stream of viral smashes, making history as the youngest ever artist on Australia's hugely influential Future Classics label while also over famous fans including EDM icon Skrillex.
 
Whethan recently collaborated with genre-defying sensation Oliver Tree on his debut album Ugly is Beautiful including current single 'Let Me Down.' The long awaited release of Whethan's debut EP, Life of a Wallflower Vol. 1, included collaborations with HONNE, Bipolar Sunshine, Oh Wonder, and Broods, among others.
 
Whethan has released a range of remixes – including his most recent rework of Charli XCX's 'claws' as well as Foster the People's 'Pumped Up Kicks,' as well as Travis Scott X Skrillex's 'SICKO MODE' and  Post Malone x Justin Bieber's 'Deja Vu' – along with such major league partnerships as frequent collaborator Oliver Tree's 'Movement' (featured in Apple's iPhone X commercial campaign and weekly on Monday Night Football) and Wafia's acclaimed 'Hurts (feat. Louis the Child & Whethan).'
