When The FADER chose a Song of the Summer this year, RADA handily walked away with the top spot over household names like TYLA, Charli xcx, and Kendrick Lamar, a testament to the song\u2019s breezy appeal. \u201cPayme\u201d has been stuck in my head since I first heard it this spring, so when I heard RADA was coming stateside to perform, I had to check it out for myself.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265335\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265316\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            It\u2019s the first week of September, and the 18+ DIY show at a nondescript SoHo loft is running behind schedule. Doors were supposed to open at 10 p.m., but a late afternoon venue change means everyone is unsurprisingly late: artists, attendees, and the sound guy in charge of supplying the speakers. A small but indiscrete queue has formed on the sidewalk, and a handful of Zoomers slowly trickle in and out while audio equipment and projectors are booted and calibrated, crowding the makeshift bar for $15 Solo-cup mixed drinks.<\/p>\n<p>            There\u2019s a micro-audience milling around during RADA\u2019s brief soundcheck, but if they recognize the girl in slitted leggings and a fur-hooded black parka, they keep it to themselves. This doesn\u2019t hold true when the pounding bass forces us to conduct our interview in the building\u2019s lobby, in full view of concertgoers: A random girl snaps a blatant paparazzi pic which RADA\u2019s vigilant manager promptly commands her to delete. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265312\" class=\"content_block diptych triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper half_gutter_right gutter_btm\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_760,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/Embed_1_RADA_h120cm\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw\" alt=\"The RADA Show\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"media_wrapper half_gutter_left\" style=\"\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_760,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:eco\/photo_dump_6_RADA_wp35df\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw\" alt=\"The RADA Show\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265336\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<div class=\"\" style=\"padding-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265317\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>\n            RADA was born in London to a Russian father and a British-Jamaican mother, but she mostly grew up in Moscow. She says she was a creative child, though she expected to go into fashion or art rather than music; after a decade of classical piano training starting at the age of five, she wanted to step away and do something different. But when RADA was 16, her family moved back to the U.K., and a \u201chyperfocus\u201d on pop music \u2014 which served as her crash course in British and American culture (she learned the most from King Krule and Arctic Monkeys) \u2014 inspired her to try making her own songs. \u201cPop music was always a big part of my life, so it just came naturally,\u201d she says. A couple years later, she started making demos with <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouTube<\/a> beats, collaborating with friends as she dabbled in R&amp;B and hyperpop. But it wasn\u2019t until 2022 that RADA started to take music more seriously. <\/p>\n<p>            \u201cI wanted to make an alias, [but] then I messed up and performed one of the songs for the alias live,\u201d she says, laughing. The enthusiastic reaction from the crowd prompted her to release the SHEMYYY-produced \u201cTIGHTROPE,\u201d crystallizing a shift in RADA\u2019s musical stylings. \u201cIn London, everything became oversaturated [with] so many female artists doing a specific style of R&amp;B,\u201d she continues. \u201cThis new sound felt more authentic to me, like I was actually trying something new rather than following what everyone else was doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            She describes the new sound as \u201cEDM meets R&amp;B meets rap meets pop,\u201d aiming to be cute and gritty at the same time by balancing pretty melodies with hard drums. <\/p>\n<p>            \u201cSwag&amp;B!\u201d her manager helpfully chimes in as RADA nods. \u201cI use Rihanna references a lot,\u201d RADA says. \u201cThat\u2019s the best way I could describe it. She delves into different genres, but she still has her own swag on it.\u201d (Later, when I inquire about influences and dream collabs, RADA repeats Robyn Fenty\u2019s name five times, throwing in Nicki Minaj and Snow S<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>pers for good measure).<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265319\" class=\"content_block paragraph embed triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"rada - payme\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sEbjRyJc8hc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265318\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            RADA didn\u2019t expect \u201cpayme\u201d to blow up, but she can\u2019t say it wasn\u2019t part of the plan: \u201cI was sad about being broke and not doing shows. So I was like okay, if I want to get booked, I should make music people want to dance to.\u201d She hit the studio with her go-to producer Endevour (\u201cjuggin,\u201d \u201cLOL\u201d), asking for a \u201cVogue type beat,\u201d and he came back with the song\u2019s central synth line. \u201cI was kind of taking the piss, singing if you want that new shit\u2026 because I wanted to be paid,\u201d she says of making \u201cpayme.\u201d \u201cI honestly hated that song when I first made it, so I didn\u2019t expect it to do as well as it did.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            At the show, her manager wryly notes that of all her clients, RADA is by far the pickiest, never quite satisfied with a song or video treatment. That checks out: I\u2019ve had a collection of her demos burning a hole in my phone for weeks, though it\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess when the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> public will get to hear them. One of my favorites is a glitchy baroque collaboration with rapper-producer fakemink; another is a jerk song about falling head over heels with a particularly deft verse from Lancey Foux which RADA raps word for word during her performance.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265313\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_2_RADA_jvxxf9\/rada-performs-with-bitgurl.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"The RADA Show\"><span class=\"img_caption\"><\/p>\n<p>    <span class=\"caption\"><br \/>\n      RADA performs with Bitgurl<br \/>\n    <\/span><\/p>\n<p>  <span class=\"credit\"><br \/>\n      \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265314\" class=\"content_block breaker triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left image\">\n<div class=\"media_wrapper\">\n<p>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1440,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_220,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 220w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_300,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 300w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 400w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_600,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 600w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_750,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 750w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_840,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 840w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_960,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 960w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1260,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 1260w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_1800,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 1800w,https:\/\/thefader-res.cloudinary.com\/private_images\/w_2400,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:best\/EMBED_3_RADA_cciz9q\/rada-singer-payme-interview.jpg 2400w,\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"The RADA Show\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n<\/style>\n<div id=\"content_block-265320\" class=\"content_block paragraph text triple_gutter_right triple_gutter_left center_align\">\n<div class=\"content_inner_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"paragraph_wrapper center_align\">\n<p>            About that performance: When we make our way back to the main room, the spot is considerably more packed though the average age still hovers around 20 years old. The vibes are \u201cParis Hilton girl meets Minecraft boy,\u201d per my colleague Sandra Song, and the crowd is already pumped up, galvanized by opener Ka$hkenni and a DJ set that swung from \u201cOOOUUU\u201d to \u201cDifferent Day.\u201d When RADA takes the stage \u2014 i.e. climbs atop a TV stand set in front of the CDJs \u2014 everyone is suitably ecstatic, crouching low and leaping back up on command. The energy stays up even for songs we don\u2019t know: RADA tugs Bitgurl on stage to do the then-unreleased \u201cpicky\u201d to dramatic screams while the aforementioned Foux feature prompts one incredulous listener to shout, \u201cI think that\u2019s Lancey?!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>            She closes her set with \u201cpayme,\u201d running it back twice so people can really get into it. Standing near the back of the room, stealing glimpses of RADA over a thicket of outstretched arms, it feels as though she could play it another 10 times and no one would falter, bouncing up and down to the beat without hesitation. Afterward, RADA briefly vanishes for a well-earned smoke break (she asked me for a cig hours ago to no avail). I stick around for a while, watching Xaviersobased do kickflips on the empty dancefloor, chopping it up with the event organizers and venue staff. On the way home, when I reach for my Metrocard, I find an unopened pair of earplugs. I had such a good time I forgot to protect my hearing.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n    <span><br \/>\n      By <span class=\"credit_name\">Vivian Medithi<\/span><br \/>\n  <\/span><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
