Packed with introspective lyricism and fragile poignancy, ‘Moai’ is the kind of single that reeks of reckoning and change, perhaps written as a musical catharsis over troubled past experiences. Penned by London-based creative V?k, the track draws from his Italian heritage, featuring Italian lyricism which sounds very malleable and evocative to an English ear.
Because of that, ‘Moai’ won’t be for everybody – luckily, V?k also boasts a past catalogue in English, so perhaps refer to that. It’s worth it, the young musician champions an incredibly expressive character, pairing very well with his nuanced vocal tone, able to engage in textured ad-libs that are so, so joyful on the listeners.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Moai’, V?k explains: “The song is an exploration of emotional depths, a journey through love and isolation. It’s a song I wanted to represent with the element of earth, an isolating element par excellence. I hope this song can touch the hearts of anyone who has ever felt misunderstood or trapped in an impossible love.”
