Awoo.

  • There's A New "Official" Album on Spotify Called 'Sonic Chad' And It's Very Weird

    Are you ready for some fresh "phonk"y beats?

    If you're a subscriber to music streaming service Spotify, and are following the official Sonic the Hedgehog or "SEGA SOUND TEAM" artists, you might have noticed a new single that dropped yesterday titled 'Sonic Chad'. Spoiler alert: it is almost certainly not official, but Spotify would have you believe it is.

    The absolutely bizarre release contains three tracks, each around two minutes in length. Two of these tracks are in fact "sped up" or "slowed down" versions of the first one, and that first track consists of nothing but a brief, looping (and very weird) electronic beat. Besides the strange cover art (which we presume is AI generated), there's nothing to suggest that it has anything to do with the Sonic the Hedgehog series.

    The artists listed (beyond SEGA SOUND TEAM and Sonic the Hedgehog, which we can only assume is a hilarious mistake) include two unknowns: "Zynthonic" and "CONTRV-PHONK". 

    You can listen to the album here:

    It's likely that this was a tagging snafu on Spotify's end - we can totally imagine that this was just some chancer that tried (and succeeded) to submit their album with the SEGA Sound Team artist label, and it got approved without anybody verifying it. But it's so hilariously random that we had to write something about it.

    Just in the interests of being thorough, we've reached out to SEGA to find out if this really is official or not. If they come back and say it's real though, we might honestly end up with more questions than answers.

    Many thanks to @Maple Syrup for spotting this absolute gem of randomness.

    Aww, thank you! And I have to say THIS IS THE MOST RANDOMEST THING I FOUND TODAY. And apparently this "Zynthonic" guy makes Phonk music.

    It is very obvious.

    greeting. Me and my team made a mistake. We have fixed it and it will be visible in a few hours. We are sorry . Due to the rush, we didn't even see that we made a mistake in registering the primary and those for lending only.😅

    Thank you! I can't believe how this went. To be honest, the reaction was also strange to us. We laughed harder how this could happen🤣

    I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing for the community. Definitely lends itself to cursedness.
