Deeply introspective lyrics seamlessly blend Spanish and English with identity and depth, as moonlaw delivers an ethereal and quietly captivating new hip hop single, in the form of the boldly unique GLOSARIO.
Talking openly of trying to move away from the toxicity of a difficult past, GLOSARIO tells a story of vulnerability and ambition, reflecting on keeping focused and ‘locked away in withdrawal’, blending poetry and personal anecdote in a brilliantly impactful way.
The single follows the high bar set by the equally immersive, dark and ambient vibes of DEJAVU, and maintains the vocal depth and identity of moonlaw in a manner that’s instantly recognisable.
The lyrics are truly impressive, fascinating and thought-provoking, beautiful and memorable for their clever references, metaphors, and realism. The track reads like a complex poem, but is delivered with moonlaw’s unmistakable voice and low tone, drawing subtle influence from the alternative hip hop legends of a simpler time.
‘If the sky falls tomorrow, at least I saw it change color, I am every shard of glass reflecting the sun.”
The words are powerful throughout, each phrase standing tall in its own right, but gathering all the more poignancy as moonlaw continues to build upon it throughout a brilliantly focused storyline and sentiment.
It’s the story of an artist, in the end, this innate desire to escape the patterns of the past and focus on the music, on creativity and value for the self, and it’s relatable, vulnerable, and refreshing in its sheer, unfiltered honesty.
