Breakout colour-bass producer Papa Khan returned to Monstercat yesterday to debut his angsty new single “Never Cared”. This song is both heartfelt and authentic, and showcases Papa Khan’s unique approach to music. The pop-punk-inspired lyrics and aggressive synth stabs are a bitter goodbye to his previous experience with toxic relationships. “Never Cared” is yet another perfect showcase of Papa Khan’s boundless range and bright future. Papa Khan shares, “For those who have been betrayed and hurt, this one is for you.” Cheers to a new song for your breakup playlist!
After bursting onto the scene in 2018, Papa Khan has risen through the ranks, becoming a stand-out artist in the bass community.
