They&#8217;ve got the style and swagger required to ensure immediate success, and are more than just a household name in their home country, where they have held the place for #1 record on the radio and the Top 10 Spotify in Norway, as well as being on the Top 5 Shazam for over ten weeks. Their new single, &#8216;Deliriously Good&#8217; does exactly what it says on the tin. It&#8217;s good. Deliriously so.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Comprising songwriters\/producers Kent and Cato Sunberg and Lasse Michelsen, Rat City have more than a million monthly Spotify listeners, while the video for their dreamy debut release, &#8216;Kings Of Love&#8217;, has garnered over a million views &#8211; on Spotify the same song has had more than 15 million streams. It makes sense that Norway is too small a market for this group, and like the rodents in their name, they&#8217;re going to make their way all around the world, with the US the next target in their sights.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The animated video for &#8216;Deliriously Good&#8217; is the perfect illustration for the turbulent relationship between lust, the chase, and the trap. The tune has a certain disco vibe to it, and shows protagonist Frank pursuing a mysterious woman, while evading the thugs of Rat City. Desire however gets the better of him, and see him catch up to his lover &#8211; but the villains also close in, making escape impossible, and revealing the woman was bait, ensuring his capture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Quite apart from aptly describing the excellent quality of the track, &#8216;Deliriously Good&#8217; is a reference to that one person we know is bad for us, but we just can&#8217;t resist, no matter how hard we try. Every interaction makes them just that little more addictive, and consequently more difficult to escape. &#8216;Deliriously Good&#8217; is the same, with its funk laced with romantic swings and catchy lyrics, making sure that we&#8217;re never able to completely evade Rat City. But maybe, just maybe, deep down &#8211; we don&#8217;t want to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out Rat City on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/RatCityOfficial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>.
