Establishing the mood with an atmospheric, dimensional soundscape with vocal samples and charming ad libs, Ego Sol opens XO with evocative prose as he shares a situational narrative with reference to a toxic relationship.
The opus expands with intricate flow as Ego Sol demonstrates his fierce and assertive wit and introspective mindset. He confesses, “The single a reflection of how bad habits and ego can effect others around and how others can do the same.” Elaborating on XO, Ego Sol says, “It’s like the ego itself speaking with no filter.”
We appreciate the authenticity and vulnerability that Ego Sol conveys with his universe. It feels like intentionally, the track is cathartic for both artist and listener.
Ego Sol cites Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and J.Cole as his primary influences, although there is no doubt that the rising star is creating a sound of his own.
The production by YZ is progressive, with a timeless and immersive feel, showcasing wavy nuances that take us on a cerebral trip. We appreciate the vocal harmonies and the emotive ebbs and flows that the composition delivers.
We connect with what Ego Sol is creating, and have added XO to our New Music Spotlight playlist, as well whilst we continue to stream Ego Sol‘s wider discography including Problems.
