Establishing the mood with a meditative synthscape, expanding with glistening melodies, textured percussion and cerebral spoken word nuances, Axulion opens Passerby with metaphorical and introspective prose. We are immediately drawn into the artist’s universe with his poetic prowess and deep authenticity, bringing to life his self-realized nature.
The opus expands into a dimensional, indie-pop energy with a high emotional quotient and a relatable message designed with cinematic allure. The immersive nature of the piece is tangible, and the fusion of atmospheric production with ethereal vocal design creates a dreamy tapestry of sound.
The sonic ebbs and flows are nothing short of mesmerising, and we feel drawn into a spacey environment, which even taps into elements of psychedelia. The switch ups between a blurred aesthetic mix and pristine clarity certainly sets the composition nature of the song apart and creates a vibe that leaves us yearning for more.
We learn that Passerby serves as a manifestation of Axulion‘s “newfound confidence and passion for music.” The track was recorded in his bedroom studio, and the rising star confesses, “I’ve spent years holding back, but this release is me finally embracing who I am as an artist, fully and unapologetically.”
With reference to his intention, he adds, “I wanted to reconnect with that pure passion, so I let go of any external pressures and immersed myself in the present moment. That feeling of freedom and self-expression is the message my song conveys and it is what I’ve been longing for.”
We find the authenticity refreshing, and it is clear that Axulion has found his style and voice. We have added Passerby to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream Axulion‘s previous works and anticipate future releases from the artist.
