Highly evocative and meaningful, ‘My Relief’ is a stunning slice of musical catharsis. Written by Melbourne-based talent Arctisky, the single embarks on a luscious and elegant ballad-style direction, all crowned by expansive and melancholic vocals. Arctisky’s deep, raw tone is the perfect match for such a hazy production.
Moving at a slow pace, ‘My Relief’ grows in intensity as it gradually transforms into a poignant anthem. A plethora of textures and orchestral soundscapes help the song reach its zenith, putting Arctisky’s nuanced lyricism at the forefront of it all. Steeped in personal experience, ‘My Relief’ seeks to celebrate resilience and self-preservation, something that the young creative has struggled with quite a lot.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘My Relief’, Arctisky explain: “I wrote this song during lockdowns, after surviving a severe health crisis that put me in the hospital twice. It became a letter to myself, a reminder to step back and heal.”
