  "account": "Mad Tsai, a 24-year-old Chinese-Taiwanese-Peruvian artist, has released his new EP, 'CANINES', which showcases his love for dance and hyper-pop. The album explores various genres and themes, such as loyalty, human connection, yearning, hunger, intimacy, heartbreak, and growth. Mad Tsai, who started as an experimental indie pop-rock singer, understands that he is not limited to one genre or sound and enjoys experimenting with different styles. Inspired by vampire media, including horror movies, films like Carrie and Jennifer's Body, and shows like Interview with a Vampire and Blade, Mad Tsai wrote 'CANINES' as a way to explore different sides of himself and connect with his fans on a deeper level. The project features songs like \"Bite,\" \"Killer Queen,\" \"mon chéri,\" and \"No One's Son,\" each with its own unique style and meaning. Mad Tsai is proud of his work and excited for the future, including upcoming tour this fall.",
