It is rather hard to pinpoint ‘friends’ to a particular genre. Featuring a whirlwind of influences and styles, the track exists in its own, peculiar space, navigating the contemporary with freedom and charisma. In a way, such an eclectic and deep sonic flair reflects the project’s lyrical character, drenched in complex lyricism and personal introspection.
Behind such a relevant artistic outlook, we find holistic creative adam’5. Hailing from Paris, France, the talented artist is one of the quirkiest and most authentic musical figures we have come across in quite some time. ‘friends’ is the perfect evidence of that: exploring crucial themes of loneliness in the face of emotional education and the inability to manage romantic flings, the single goes from hyper pop and hip-hop extravaganza – with its synthetic vocals and threedimensional beat – to more fuzzy and punchy post-punk sections, noisy and cathartic.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘friends’, adam’5 explains: “The song portrays a raw and honest reflection on loneliness and mental health, addressing the frustration of feeling unable to maintain friendships without them turning into romantic or sexual encounters.”
