Cheat Codes and Julia Church collaborate on ode to dating – ‘Modern Tragedy’

In their latest single “Modern Tragedy,” Cheat Codes taps into the zeitgeist of millennial dating woes, delivering a radio-ready EDM-pop confection that follows a tried and true formula to sink in its catchy hooks.

Featuring vocals from Julia Church, the track attempts to elevate standard club fare with a veneer of emotional depth, but ultimately falls short of true innovation. The Los Angeles trio’s production is characteristically slick, building from a pulsing bassline to a predictable crescendo of driving percussion and swirling synths.
Church’s vocals drive the songs appeal, infusing the lyrics with a hint of authentic emotion. Lines like “So here we go again / A night to feel alone” capture the ennui of modern romance and the all to common experience of getting ghosted.
“Modern Tragedy” arrives as yet another entry in the market of songs dissecting modern dating culture. A dance pop single that will resonate with listeners seeking catharsis for their romantic frustrations.
Cheat Codes continues to demonstrate their ability to craft radio-friendly hits, and “Modern Tragedy” suggests they know what they’re doing — and they do it well.
