Jara Jurado, a musician and songwriter from San Diego, is inspired by ’80s horror films like ‘Nightmare On Elm Street’ and ‘The Lost Boys’, as well as artists like Prince and The 1975. Just in time for Halloween 2019, the horror-pop icon has launched a new single.

Don’t Drop The Funk opens with a playful intro before a tight synth-bassline kicks in. Further synth stabs, screams and a guitar solo add some suspense, but it never gets scary. On the contrary, this might be the most (radio-)friendly Halloween song you’ll hear this year.
