An artist defined by his commitment to honesty and vulnerability in their writing process, new wave indie folk artist Hilary Cousins has earned the respect of fans worldwide as he consistently delivers art that speaks to their listeners on an intimate level. With existential lyrics that explore the greatest questions in life combined with earworm melodies meant to sooth the soul, his work prompts us all to consider a wide range of philosophical views from medieval mysticism to modern day science as he guides us through a journey of our own minds. His latest single, Fragments, proves an impressive addition to the artist’s repertoire, as he offers his views on the ways so many beliefs can coexist alongside one another.
The piece begins with a melodically sensible introduction that immediately puts listeners in a pensive headspace, and right away we get a sense for the feelings this music is meant to evoke. Through its lyrics, the single explores the general consensus of how best to see the world throughout the centuries, reflecting on how the qualities that make up an individual are just fragments, and yet we strive for understanding and validation as we search for deeper meaning.
An ambitious track that accomplishes everything it sets out to, the single stays with listeners long after the sound has left their speakers for numerous reasons. Fragments proves its merit throughout its verses as a welcome addition to Cousins’ creative mission. With momentum on his side and no signs of slowing down, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming next from this artist’s mind and studio.
