CR Srikanth is back with “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™”, a track that merges analog synth nostalgia with widescreen emotion. It’s not just a dance record—it’s a self-directed push through the fog. There’s a cinematic tension to the way it builds: punchy drums, arpeggiated synths, and basslines that lock in early and never let go. Vocals from Junior Paez carry the hook home with ease.
Srikanth calls the track “an exploration of clarity in chaos,” and the production backs that up. The whole thing walks a fine line—sharp but smooth, bold but personal. It’s the latest addition to what Srikanth calls VS Pop™—a sound he’s shaping from the ground up that blends ‘80s pop instincts with orchestral polish and ambient edges.
Born in India, based in the US, and trained at Berklee, Srikanth’s musical background runs deep. He’s written over 250 compositions across styles, but this new lane—this VS Pop™ stuff—is where he’s clearly carving his identity. His upbringing in Western classical, Carnatic, and Hindustani music bleeds through the details, but the vision stays focused.
“Dancing in the Dark” isn’t designed for passive listening. It’s a track that asks you to keep your head up and your feet moving, even when things feel unclear. It doesn’t need a spotlight—it creates its own.
