TEO.x3 and Tamta’s ‘sprite’ Captures the Emotional Glitch of a New Pop Era as London Show Is Announced
TEO.x3
Fast-rising pop innovator TEO.x3, splitting his time between London and Athens, continues to sharpen his international profile with ‘sprite’, a standout collaboration with pop, fashion and queer icon Tamta. The track serves as the lead single from his debut EP iDidntMeanToGhostYouButMyWifiCrashedAgain a project that captures the noise, nostalgia and emotional instability of a generation raised online.
‘sprite’ thrives in contrast. Emotional chaos is wrapped in glossy textures, punchy melodies and glitch-heavy production, balancing vulnerability with playful excess. Vintage synth warmth collides with sparkling digital distortions, creating a sound that feels euphoric, overstimulated and deeply human at once. It’s pop music that leans into emotional overload rather than hiding from it.
Tamta’s contribution is central to the track’s impact. Her sharp, confident vocal presence cuts cleanly through the digital haze, adding depth and dramatic tension to the song’s shimmering self-sabotage. The collaboration feels effortless and intentional—no surprise, given the creative relationship between the two artists, with TEO.x3 also serving as the producer behind Tamta’s critically acclaimed album ‘THE VILLAIN HEROINE’. Together, they strike a balance between emotional honesty and high-gloss spectacle. The track’s universe expands further with a remix by JEONNE, whose additional production injects an extra layer of club-ready energy and underground edge. The remix pushes the track deeper into late-night territory, amplifying its chaos while preserving the emotional core that makes ‘sprite’ so addictive.
Since its release, ‘sprite’ has helped propel TEO.x3 into a breakout moment. His independently released debut EP has already surpassed 300k Spotify streams, while the single itself pushed him beyond 62k monthly listeners and earned strong editorial playlist support across Spotify’s major pop and discovery platforms including New Music Friday UK, Hyperpop, All New Pop, Obsessed, placing him alongside artists like Rosalía, PinkPantheress, Robyn, Slayyyter and Troye Sivan. This momentum further cements TEO.x3’s status as a fast-rising force in Europe’s evolving pop landscape, bridging experimental instincts with accessible, emotionally charged songwriting.
Beyond streaming success, TEO.x3’s momentum continues to build on stage. Known for his high-energy, emotionally charged performances at venues like EGG LDN, Electrowerkz and Dalston Superstore, he’s now set to return to London in a major way. Tamta will headline Colours Hoxton on 27 March 2026, following her previous sold-out show at the venue. TEO.x3 will open the night, bringing their creative partnership full circle on stage.
Bold, emotionally unfiltered and digitally fluent, ‘sprite’ stands as more than a single. It’s a snapshot of modern pop in motion, and a clear signal that TEO.x3 is only just getting started.
