We recently featured enigmatic artist PR6TTY E when he took us on a trip with his single, Games, so we were thrilled to see that he just dropped a brand new song and video for BROKEN SPELL.
The genre expansive opus, produced by Erlax, opens with a whirring bass synth and pitched vocal textures, and we are hypnotized as we see our protagonist meet a person in a red dress whilst he is reading a book about metaphysics.
BROKEN SPELL expands with an immersive, dark-pop, industrial, new wave style frequency as PR6TTY E takes us on a journey with his muse, whilst delivering transportative and introspective lyrics like the hook “And we sail across the ocean, she got eyes with no emotions…”, as he tells the story of a slowly fading relationship.
We love PR6TTY E‘s delivery, which is atmospheric, emo and subversive, and his performance in the music video is powerful. Speaking on BROKEN SPELL, PR6TTY E tells us, “The song is structured through an electronic beat incorporating elements from techno and club music blended with vocals that combine elements from rock, pop, and trap.”
PR6TTY E cites a range of influences, from electronic acts such as Crystal Castles and The Prodigy, rap acts like Travis Scott and Lil Peep to rock acts such as Oasis, Metallica, Motorhead, The Stooges, The Rolling Stones and many others, which we can feel come through in his art, but it is clear that he is creating a universe of his own.
He expands, “Lyrically, there is a strong amount of pictorial content through metaphors and global poetic vibe. There is a contrast between the club-like sound of the song and the poetic lyrics that create an original atmosphere.”
Expanding on the music video, he says, “Moreover, the video clip illustrates the poetic aspect of the lyrics, while still maintaining energy and fluidity present in the music.”
We are obsessed with PR6TTY E‘s vibe and can foresee greatness for him, we also recommend checking out PR6TTY E‘s music videos for Games and Star Cluster.
