Polar Inc. has finally dropped his debut album, Tragicomedy<\/em>. The Cape Town producer, real name Adam Spence, has been putting out music for more than ten years and has over 120 million streams, but this is his first full album. Across ten tracks he goes back and forth between everything he\u2019s known for, or as he puts it, \u201chappiness and melancholy, cinematic and clubby, emotion and rhythm.\u201d<\/p>\n A handful of singles came out ahead of the album, including \u201cSympathy\u201d with Anna-Sophia Henry, \u201cCerulean,\u201d \u201cFor You\u201d featuring Nathan Ball and \u201cSlopes\u201d with Hannah Ray. There\u2019s lore behind the last one \u2014 he first started \u201cSlopes\u201d while on tour in San Francisco, and named it after the hills he\u2019d been walking around that day. The rest of the album includes \u201cHolding Me Up\u201d with sadHAPPY, \u201cLe Concorde,\u201d \u201cApricity,\u201d \u201cCatching Fire\u201d featuring ALLKNIGHT, \u201cAgulhas\u201d and the album\u2019s incredible opener \u201cPrima\u201d \u2013 a track that started as a chord progression he kept coming back to while making the album until finally finishing it last.<\/p>\n
