Fast-rising pop artist TEO.x3 has teamed up with Tamta for the single 'sprite', the lead track from his debut EP. The release highlights emotional themes in modern pop, coinciding with an announced London performance. The collaboration builds on their prior work together.
TEO.x3, a pop innovator based between London and Athens, released 'sprite' on January 29, 2026, as the opening single from his debut EP, iDidntMeanToGhostYouButMyWifiCrashedAgain. The EP explores the noise, nostalgia, and emotional instability of a generation shaped by online life. The track blends emotional chaos with glossy production, featuring punchy melodies and glitch effects that mix vintage synth warmth with digital distortions for an euphoric yet overstimulated sound.
Tamta, known as a pop, fashion, and queer icon, delivers confident vocals that add depth and tension to the song's themes of shimmering self-sabotage. This partnership draws from their established creative ties, as TEO.x3 produced Tamta's acclaimed album THE VILLAIN HEROINE. A remix by JEONNE enhances the track with club energy and an underground edge, amplifying its chaotic appeal while retaining emotional resonance.
Since launch, the EP has exceeded 300,000 Spotify streams, with 'sprite' boosting TEO.x3 to over 62,000 monthly listeners. It has secured spots on playlists like New Music Friday UK, Hyperpop, All New Pop, and Obsessed, aligning him with artists such as Rosalía, PinkPantheress, Robyn, Slayyyter, and Troye Sivan.
TEO.x3's live momentum, seen in past shows at venues like EGG LDN, Electrowerkz, and Dalston Superstore, leads to a key event: he will open for Tamta's headline performance at Colours Hoxton on March 27, 2026. This follows Tamta's prior sold-out gig there, marking a full-circle moment for their collaboration. 'Sprite' thus represents evolving pop, emphasizing bold emotional expression in a digital age.
