Striking production and a modern vocal fluidity that’s familiar but fresh – Kaushion backs up a growing repertoire of boldly original takes, with the unforgettable earworm and dark-rap anthem Oh God.
Essentially an alternative ode to romantic connection and regret, a scornful look at love gone wrong, Oh God is heavy on the rhythms, bass, and distorted synths, heavy and honest on the lyrics, but gentle and somewhat sleepy on the delivery. That contrast of traits is key to letting the music pour through like hypnotic waves of outcry – confrontational but gentle, and resolving with a simple and memorable title and hook.
Tens of thousands of monthly listeners and counting, Kaushion’s dark-trap of heavy grooves and evocative, melodic vocals is clearly connecting – these enchanting ambiances and creative, distinct productions meet with the emotional honesty and vocal character of an eclectic artist, for a sound that naturally raises the bar.
Sharp and smart rhyme schemes blend melody and rap, the voice mellow in tone but relentless in firing off bar after bar after bar. Meanwhile the soundscape gathers intense momentum, and the track rolls along with a fiercely recognisable and unexpectedly quirky hook repeat – a fusion of qualities that all contribute to the song’s easy to vibe to aura.
Versatility is a huge part of the Kaushion corner of creativity. The sound is always dark, experimental to a degree, but also always faultlessly rhythmic, loaded with personality; and with fearlessly revealing lyrics.
The provocative SOUL EATER is another recent track worth hearing – a darker late-night aura, with a gritty vocal dynamic and story that again shines light on yet another side of the intense and performative Kaushion approach.
