Setting the tone with a textured and panning frequency, Virgø opens his opus Know My Name with a mantra-esque delivery of the title of the track, and we are hypnotized.
The track expands into an atmospheric and dimensional Hip-Hop soundscape as Virgø opens with intricate flow and assertive lyricism. We appreciate Virgø‘s narrative-driven approach and the synthetic bass line that comes in to add an industrial element to the already powerful composition.
Know My Name serves as an introduction to the artist, delivering a cutting edge sound with an undeniably passionate energy from Virgø that we feel immersed in. Touching upon themes of his life, the human condition, connections with his peers and the public, it is clear that Virgø knows himself and wants to share that essence with the world.
The song comes with a cinematic visual that showcases an expansive performance from the rising artist, who demonstrates his prowess with as natural setting and his trusted ride.
Virgø cites Mike Shinoda, Drake, Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West as influences, which we can feel come through in his artistry, although it is clear that he is creating a sound of his own.
Speaking on the creation of the song, Virgø simply says, “It was a genuine and happy vibe in the studio when this tracks was created. A lot of fun and laughter was going on with the birthed of this track.”
We love his authenticity and have added Know My Name to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Virgø‘s wider discography including Destiny.
