Drawing us in with a brooding vocal AzeriahVII opens I’m Obsessed With You with an admission of the title of the track. Track expands with a cerebral dark-wave soundscape with intricate and dimensional percussion and a delicate guitar performance as the artist shares atmospheric vocals with the lyrics, “I’m obsessed with you, and I’ve known for a while, and know I fantasized, mourning the potential, though now I’m satisfied…”

There is an undeniable cinematic allure to what manifests and in essence, the song is about an intense, complicated obsession. In the song, AzeriahVII shares that physical attraction has become stronger than emotional connection. This feels really real, super 2026 in fact, and a reflection on how so many of us have felt in periods of romantic connection.

AzeriahVII does admit to being fascinated by his muse’s mind and wanting to share a life with them, but ultimately realizes he was more in love with their body and the feeling of touching them than with who they truly were. The song comes to life as an observational recognition of this one-sided desire that pushes the other person away, and although AzeriahVII feels temporarily satisfied, he knows the obsession will never fully disappear. The repeated plea to “get away” most certainly captures the conflict between wanting someone deeply and knowing that being close to them might not be healthy or even mutual.

The song would be perfect for a sync placement in the recent blockbuster hit, Obsession, or alongside the unsettling romantic psychodrama of The Handmaiden. We could also imagine it creeping into an episode of Black Mirror.

AzeriahVII allows the tension to sit, and fans of The Cure, early Placebo and The Smashing Pumpkins would be able to connect with what the artist has created. The track feels deliberately linear. The bass provides a dark foundation whilst the electronica and Nico Dovan‘s haunting guitar add atmosphere without disrupting the claustrophobic mood.

For context, AzeriahVII is a Belgian independent artist who writes, produces, sings and plays bass. His musical journey began in metal before evolving into self-taught electronic production, with bass remaining at the core of his work. His influences include Nero, Bloc Party, Alexisonfire, Noisia and Lorn. These make total sense when listening to I’m Obsessed With You.

Needless to say, love what AzeriahVII has created with I’m Obsessed With You, and we have added the track to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TRIPPY playlist, whilst we anticipate future releases from AzeriahVII!
