The New Citizen Kane

A kaleidoscopic mix of lush indie-pop with electronica and hints of 80's new wave, this is nothing less than a vivid dream.

We enter this album with the serene neon funks of the title track 'Could Have Been'. A fusion of introspection with chillwave and indie-pop that takes into consideration the raw and unhinged emotions of nostalgia, this is a tune that focuses on the idea of what could've been, trying to emphasize an alternate reality where the turn of events happened in their favour. 'Forget The World' follows a similar landscape of dissociation from the chaos of the world, and allows one to venture into a sonic escape when the artist is seen romanticizing everything about his love.


With 'Talk', the album's mood shapeshifts to a more emotive and sunny electro-pop mixed with a hint of 80s new wave, that almost feels like a daydream and a trip back to the memory lane. A unique and authentic touch to Coldplay's 'Talk', this is a transformation of the classic to an electro-dance banger that exudes joy and energy. 'Tonight, Maybe' following a similar landscape, this talks about how a love so pure only seems one-sided, and how all the imagery of a possible future will only exist if the other party tries.


Then 'Chasting The Past' makes us rethink our lives with notions of self-reflection and vulnerability, where the artist is seen yearning for their love in vain. A powerful emotion-driven depiction of heartache enhanced by vocal effects and emotional turmoil, these tracks portray a balance between hope and doubt in love. Last but not least, we end this ecstatic sonic adventure with the Red Man Run's Schitzophonic Club Mix of 'Forget The World', which offers us a more low-tempo and bass-driven groove to the original number, making sure the song fits all the complex emotions its listeners go through while listening to it. Overall, I am flabbergasted to experience this album and I believe so will you!
