Canadian pop diva Ralph’s music is like drinking a mimosa at 9am – incredibly fun and fizzy. The singer’s video for the new single “Scary Hot” is both an aural and visual delight. It’s the perfect teaser for her upcoming EP 222, arriving in June.
Says Ralph: “‘Scary Hot’ was co-written with TikTok pop queen Devon Cole and producer Michael Goldchain. I was in the mood to write something flirty and a little uncensored, and Devon was like YASSS. I told them about a sexy night I had in a car with my girlfriend and this song emerged. My new EP has really been a fun evolution for me and I’ve pushed myself to try new things and explore a little more fearlessly.
“‘Scary Hot’ is also the first time I’ve explicitly mentioned my queerness in a song, since I’ve mostly sung about men in the past. It feels exciting to show this side of me in a way that feels fun and natural, and the music video (directed by my friend Arden Grier) also reflects that. We wanted to lean into the imagery of ‘scary hot’ and play with the sexy fine line between pleasure and pain – imagine a sort of queer fight club where everyone makes out in the end.”
