Drawing us in with an immersive synthscape and an atmospheric ad libs introducing artists Devon Fouch and Cubanis, Existential opens with dimensionality, astral bells and pitched vocals with introspective prose.
We are immediately captivated by Devon Fouch‘s self-realized nature, and the tangible emotional depth that he has tapped into to bring Existential to life. The opus feels relatable, yet philosophical. We love the intricate vocal design and the optimistic yet conscious presence of Cubanis.
Existential manifests instrumental mastery and a futuristic Afrobeat meets R&B-dance frequency, which has the potential to connecting with the masses. We appreciate the intentional and expansive nature of the conceptual track reminding us of love energy and the universe.
Devon Fouch cites Nas, Drake, Kanye West, Michael Jackson, and Tears For Fears, as sonic influences, which we can feel come through with his sound, although there is no doubt that Devon is creating a mood unto his own design.
The creator from Virginia Beach tells us how his musical journey is characterized by fearless experimentation and a passion for diverse sounds, resulting in tracks that offer a fresh auditory experience. It is also clear that his collaborations with artists like ThatNew Jt and Shameik Brown showcase his versatility.
Despite industry challenges, we learn that Devon is the master of his own narrative, as seen in his recent EP Now You Know. Looking ahead, Devon aims to cultivate a dedicated fan base and make a meaningful impact on his audience.
We have added Existential to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our new TIMELESS playlist, whist we continue to stream Devon’s wider body of work, including Meet Me There, and Deep Sleep, and anticipate future releases from the star.
