Cris 88 Keys taps into the global collective consciousness with her latest single, “The Mad Side of the Planet,” a poetic reflection on the strange, spiraling state of our world. With a haunting melody and a voice that carries both weariness and wonder, this track feels like walking through a fog of confusion, and then spotting a faint but steady light in the distance.

The production (helmed by longtime collaborator Orçun Ayata) blends subtle synth layers and atmospheric textures with a slow, pulsing groove that mirrors the song’s tension between despair and resilience. The lyrics paint scenes that feel too familiar: disconnection masked as connection, wealth hoarded while justice is distorted, and technology overpowering humanity. Lines like “forget you human nature/ if you’re living on the mad side of the planet” hit hard, because we are.

But Cris doesn’t stop at the darkness. In the final stretch, the song pivots to hope, reminding us that “but we still have our minds” and “And tomorrow another sun will rise” .It’s an anthem for thinkers, feelers, and fighters.
