FASHION designer Johny Dar has created an alien language.

The newly invented dialect will be featured on his electronic dance single Alien Animal, which will be made available to hear on June 10.

Dubbed Alien-rap, Dar’s language was constructed because the artist felt he didn’t fit in with society. He explained: “I’ve been speaking it since I was a kid and no one on earth understood it – my parents were wondering what was wrong with me!” He said: “I’ve always been an alien in this world, somehow. For a minute I tried to fit in but failed, so I had to re-create my own world from scratch, and this language was a part of that.”

The language and new single come as part of the musician’s soon approaching debut album, Dardelica, which will be released later in 2018.

Language isn’t the first concept Dar has altered. The electronic dance artist has also previously created his own system of time, labelled Dar-time, which has expanded the usual 24 hour day to one of 32 hours.

Previously, the artist has worked alongside the likes of singers Sir Elton John, Bryan Adams, Melanie C, Sam Smith, Florence Welch (of Florence and the machine), Harry Styles (formerly of One Direction), and Jessie J. He has also collaborated with fellow designer Vivienne Westwood, and actress Emma Watson.
