Setting the tone with cerebral textures and a pulsating synthetic crescendo with an Eastern edge, IDN opens Vision with intrigue. Add libs further dimensionalise the opus as IDN sings, “I don’t know what to say…” with panning vocal design as he demonstrates his range and prowess.
The composition expands into an atmospheric and intricate electronica energy whilst IDN, also known as LA-based singer-songwriter-producer Iden Mozafari ,takes us on a subversive and emotive adventure with celestial detailing and a luscious, danceable sonic landscape.
Speaking on the his art, IDN confesses, “Vision is a hypnotic, multi-dimensional track that was performed, produced, mixed and mastered by myself.” We appreciate the cohesive transformation from alt-R&B to UK Garage hybrid, demonstrating the expansive nature of IDN‘s sound.
The psychedelic nature of the piece keeps us hynotized as IDN sings, “Let me see you, my Vision, my illusion…”, we appreciate the poetic nuance in the lyricism and the transcendental nature of the track with rising glitched vocals that work seamlessly within the futuristic composition.
Two-thirds through the track, IDN gives us a rap verse with thought-provoking lyrics, as he comments on the human condition and the state of the system. We love how the artist shares his wisdom with the piece and his authentic energy. The minimalist breakdown of Vision is also particularly unique!
Vision has been added to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream IDN‘s wider discography including Heather Grey and Do You Know What I Mean?
