It’s a haunting observe, certain to vindicate anybody who is aware of how emotionally paralysing it’s to maintain your head above water. The electro-rock riff blazes via the combination earlier than the hauntingly pensive, cinematically uncooked outro, affirming that Xy Gala by no means pours half measures into his alchemic cocktail of pop, rock, electronica, and entice. The hovering refrain and the Santana-esque guitar solo inject an unforgettable power into the observe, fusing genres right into a sound that followers of Publish Malone, Falling in Reverse, and The Child LAROI will recognize.
The London-based luminary, Xy Gala, has by no means sounded extra genuine or important. ‘Lifeless Life’ is out on twenty first March 2025. Hear it on Soundcloud.
