Today's Song You Should Know: Demar - Wild Ride

I'm a big fan of the genre I often describe as "alt-pop." It's difficult to define it exactly, but the songs all have this smokey, ethereal quality that is easy to get lost in.

Today's song you should know comes from Demar, a singer-songwriter now based in Brooklyn who seems poised on the edge of breaking big in the U.S. If you know her now, it's likely because of her cover last year of Kendrick Lamar's Swimming Pool (Drank), which got a lot of attention due to its unique take on a very familiar song.

Last October she released her first EP - five tracks that recount the rise and fall of a relationship and the video for "Wild Ride" dropped earlier this month. With choreography by NYC based dancer, Maleek Washington, the video is a moody and hauntingly beautiful showcase for a song that would be at home on just about Pop or Adult Contemporary station. 

Watch the video and then in a couple of years you can tell everyone you were a fan before she became a superstar:
