Drawing influences from their homes in Miami and Berlin, multifaceted artist and musician MANYFACEDGXD has emerged from their studio with a precocious start to their musical career. Anchored in a strong cinematic sensibility within the composition of their work and a narrative-driven approach to their writing, their music serves to reflect an all-encompassing sense of elation through their ballads. As they step into the next stage of their musical career, their latest release speaks volumes about their creative prowess as they celebrate their latest single, “Luz – Butterfly Version.” Defined by its melodic rhythm and refined sense of hypnotic structure, the track finds a way to put listeners in a relaxed, yet pensive headspace throughout.
The piece begins with a reverberant acoustic guitar playing in a classical tambour, and we immediately feel the world of this music being built around us in real time. The calming progression of the song invites a sense of tranquility in its opening bars and immediately makes its intentions clear. The artist begins the narrative soon after in a hushed yet resonant tone, as they sing the opening line, “Emerging, we’re bursting. Light returning. Illuminated, we’re blooming from the ruins.”
A record that showcases the meditative proclivities of the artist’s instrumentality as well as their beliefs that change, transformation, and evolution are necessary in all walks of life, the track gives listeners a glimpse into the mind of the creative in powerful ways. Having showcased so much of themselves with this latest release, fans can only wait with anticipation to see what could possibly be coming next from this young artist’s studio.
