The music takes on the role of the story. If you listen in full, the experience is a journey; similar to the sort we embark upon when reading fiction.
Music
The leading vocal presents a sense of individuality & realness, the latter of which comes unexpectedly among what is a fairly psychedelic soundscape.
A talented & considerate artist, never lacking in passion, or bars for that matter. Wake Up is a great track & the perfect place to start for new listeners.
Whether it’s the light hearted & fun side of the songwriter’s work, or the more intimate & emotional; these hooks have impact.
A heavy & addictive track, instantly recognisable after a single listen. Eddie Vegas is back making grime music; here’s hoping there’s plenty more to come.
Alien Skin’s arrangement of chords always manages to throw you off with some calculated change from major to minor. A fantastic representation of life.
Beautiful music makes every moment brighter in itself, but when you get the songwriting chemistry just right, something about it changes your entire day.
Creativity is key & it comes in high doses. The soundscape has been freely crafted yet storms into your consciousness with the intent of a lightning bolt.
A musical portrayal or representation of what it is to be alive. The synths & keys offer a winding, unpredictable journey through the mind of the artist.
Xi Lyu is the driving force behind Black Jasmine. Her music is influenced by her Chinese heritage & her love of Western Opera. A unique fusion of cultures.
It’s refreshing to discover a band bringing back the essence of passionate, unapologetic grit, and not at the cost of skillful or captivating musicianship.
There’s a distinct level of focus to the songwriting & this speaks volumes for the artist as a writer & composer knowing exactly what it is that he’s about.
