New Music
“Hell of a Time” is Quadeca’s latest offering from Life 1, his fifth album; Quadeca has yet to reveal the album’s release date. It follows prior singles “Dark Magic” and “Baby Steps” and takes a heavily-layered sonic direction; with a drum machine beat, piano flourishes, and auto-tuned vocals from Quadeca, “Hell of a Time” is a busy, bustling earworm. “I know, I know/ Palm of your hand like the back of mine,” he sings before and after his falsetto-laden chorus. Stream the new song below.
Past Work
Quadeca’s last album was 2025’s Vanisher, Horizon Scraper.
