The song itself, written and recorded in Brooklyn, New York, comments on manufactured beauty. It is a platform for the band to express that imperfections are a vital part to having fun and being yourself. It acts as a direct contrast to the notion that you “have to be perfect just to have fun.” Sonically, the song is light and airy, which allows the track to be replayed over and over again.
This first released single of 2020 follows in suit with their single “Dumb,” which currently has over three million streams on Spotify. Although in two different directions sonically, both showcase what KOPPS is all about. This, ultimately, is a testament to the bands diversity and ability to draw from different aspects of the music industry to create clubbing songs.
Members Patricia Patrón, Travis James, and Kyle O’Hara have created a passion project that has allowed them to embellish their wildest dreams both physically on stage and sonically. With their electronic-meets-pop sound, the band is able to bring dramatic and almost show-stopping visuals to their stage performances. “U.G.L.Y.” can easily fit in their already high-energy setlist when concerts finally make a resurgence.
If you’re looking for a new band that resembles the vocals of pop music, the backing track of Marshmello, and the vibe energy of a club scene, then KOPPS is the newest artist for you!
