Setting the tone with an enigmatic, rising synth melody which immediately has us hypnotized, before we experience a moody, dimensional bassline, Michael Joyce opens Safe Again with intrigue and immersion.
The opus expands into a subversive downtempo electronica delight inspired by “the apparent disparity between government dialogue on financial help during the early stages of the Covid crisis, and their simultaneous expectation that medical professionals should freely give up their lives in the line of duty…”
We are equally obsessed with the intention of the creation, as we are with the synth-heavy soundscape itself. The vibe is unreal, and we cannot stop watching the AI generated music video that comes with the composition.
Fused cohesively with a pulsating beat, the atmospheric vocals are laced with conscious lyricism as Michael Joyce shines a light on the state of our current reality and those who deserve to be recognised.
Speaking on the release, the rising artist confesses, “I actually wrote and recorded the song in lock down, however the music video and final mix where completed more recently. The video is an experiment in AI image generation and loosely follows a science fiction story I wrote that matches the themes of the track.”
We have added Safe Again to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Michael Joyce‘s wider discography including Visitor and Signal Test!
