Electronic and Alt-Pop duo AR/CO, made up of Mali-Koa and Leo Stannard, have shared their new single “Cherry Lips” out now on Helix Records.

“Cherry Lips” is an anthem for “free-spirited fun” which revels in “all-night partying, falling in love and life-affirming adventures.”

AR/CO comments:

‘Cherry Lips’ is youthful and a hell of a good time, like the whole AR/CO theme. It’s just another chapter in our bonkers but fun world. We think everyone can connect with its free-spiritedness like we do.

It has only been 18 months since the duo released their debut track, but they can be heard in their Kx5 (deadmau5 & Kaskade) collaboration “Bright Lights” from their Grammy-nominated album Kx5.

While AR/CO have only released a handful of solo tracks, including “Night Feels” and “Call Me By Name”, but have engaged in a stream of collaborations including Don Diablo, The Stickmen Project, Sub Focus, 220 KID, Tiesto, Kx5, Hayden James, Franky Wah, Will Clarke and Jaded.

Their ethos is a “true celebration of life and global community.”

AR/CO started the project as “their own personal escape from the claustrophobia of the pandemic era.” The songs they wrote were “life-affirming” so they decided to share them with “a world that needed a similar release from the realities of day-to-day life.”
