And so it begins. As our thoughts turn to witches and wonder, pumpkins and poltergeists, tricks and treats, jack-o-lanterns, and japes, it is only natural that we need the music to soundtrack it too. Just as Christmas has its jolly sing-alongs and caroling and summer its sunkissed soundtracks, then Halloween calls for the music of a much more chilling nature. Eli Golden is here to provide it for us.
“Worst Nightmare” blends pop smarts and hip-hop grooves, R&B moves and gothic atmospheres and sees Eli Golden, best known for his starring role in the Netflix feature film 13 The Musical, lay out a suitably spooky tale of being haunted by the memory of his former girlfriend. Is it his imagination? Is she stalking him? Is he going mad? Is he imagining the whole thing?
What isn’t in any doubt is the fact that he has hit the mark perfectly, and “Worst Nightmare” is an excellent blend of pop hit and underground favorite, of the ghostly and the groovesome, the eerie and the infectious arriving just in time to be the perfect haunting sound of your seasonal shenanigans.
