MAD DOG

Electronic Press Kit

SINGLE BIO

If fans were expecting another dreamy, romantic ballad after Cera's last release "Daddy", they're in for quite a surprise because "Mad Dog" is a dramatic departure.

Set over a guitar-driven melody that teeters between surf punk and blues, Cera evokes a story of jealousy, possessiveness and lust. This may cause some confusion among fans, given her public practice of polyamory, but "Mad Dog" is not a new song - just new to the public.

Being Released April 10th

"Mad Dog" first came into existence eight years ago, only two years before Cera traded in her guitar for a synth. During those two years, she attempted to produce the song numerous times, but none of those iterations captured the visceral emotion she was trying to convey. As a result, "Mad Dog" was set aside until it could be executed properly.

In September of 2022, the song was placed in the capable hands of renowned Utah County producer, Nate Pyfer. Nate is not only prolific within the Utah music scene, but has also garnered national acclaim by collaborating with artists like Kaskade and producer Finn Bjarnson. Together with Nate and guitarist Pat Boyer, Cera finally found an opportunity to show her teeth and let "Mad Dog" loose.
