TRKSTR Taps Into Hyperpop With “Mercy”

When you see the name “Jamaica“, your mind thinks of Dancehall and Reggae Music, among other things. Over the decades however, Jamaica has been a place for various musical genres like R&B/Soul, Hip Hop, Pop, Funk, Jazz, various forms of Rock, Afrobeats, Soca, Disco Music, and many others. Newcomer TRKSTR looks to create a new lane in Jamaican music with Hyperpop, EmoRock, AltHipHop, and Alternative sounds. With a few releases out, he is on a journey to become one of the local pioneers, but open even more doors. He recently released the single, “Mercy“.

The self-produced “Mercy” was released through TRKSTR Records, and it finds TRKSTR dealing with love. He shares that he has feelings for someone close, and while it may be possible for them to be more than friends, he shares how he feels when she’s around, when she’s away from him, and it being a crime that she isn’t his. The song features some melodic and rapping deliveries, with a production that is sure to catch the listener’s attention. The Hyperpop wave has been growing since its inception in the 2010s, and may catch on in the coming years in some parts of the Caribbean. TRKSTR looks to keep the momentum going with more Hyperpop releases in the future, and he has high hopes for “Mercy”. Tune in.
