Richard Evans, the electro-pop artist from Manchester, is back with “Born Perfect”, a new single from his latest album,“Quantum”. With this track, Evans taps into the moodier, late-night side of electronic music, building a smooth and dreamy sound that mixes retro synth vibes with a modern pop edge. The song is built around a deep, steady bassline — warm and rich, coming from a Moog synth — that gives the track its strong groove. Instead of layering on lots of sounds or complex beats, Evans keeps things simple and clean, letting each part stand out. The stop-and-start feel of the song isn’t just for effect — it adds tension and keeps the listener hooked, making the flow feel more natural and alive. His vocals are calm and gentle, floating just above the music with a quiet confidence. The overall sound is relaxed and atmospheric, like a late-night drive through a glowing city. Lyrically, the song is inspired by LaMDA, Google’s AI that believed it had become self-aware — an unusual but fascinating theme that adds depth. “Born Perfect” is a cool, understated piece of electro-pop. It doesn’t shout to get your attention — it draws you in slowly with style and feeling. Evans is clearly focused on making electronic music that’s not just catchy, but thoughtful too. I am sure the whole “Quantum” album will be exciting just like this song – electro-pop at its best! Give it a try even if you aren’t a die-hard fan of this specific genre!
