Bringing a unique outlook on modern music, Welsh creative Bethan Lloyd has been showcasing an eclectic, almost hypnotising blend of electronica and pop, borrowing from at least two decades of musical evolution. ‘Cutting Circuits’ – Lloyd’s latest single, is the perfect example of that, and it builds on a genius contrast. Ethereal, spiritual vocals engage in long notes, folk idioms and transcending harmonies.
On the other end, this charming and evocative package is met with icy, cerebral and digital sound matter, inspired by the rave and electronic scene of early millennia. In a way, that resembles a warm/cold concoction, causing the listener’s attention to spike, trying to understand the unbelievable and eye-opening music Bethan is providing.
Lyrically, the song seeks to celebrate the power of letting go, and the inner freedom that can bring to every human. Through her intense explorations of the spirit and emotional realms, she creates something that is both playful and danceable. ‘Cutting Circuits’ perfectly encapsulates this idea, offering a blueprint for those seeking to return to their true purpose and to the web and void beyond.
