The keen reader might recall reading about Florida-based artist KRISTOPHER previously, having been featured on our blog a fair bit. He’s always championed a rather nuanced artistry, pairing meaningful lyricism with modern and relevant productions. Now, the young newcomer returns with one of his most honest songs to date, the poignant and introspective gem ‘Cage With No Key’.
Built on a ballad formula, the track makes ample use of soothing piano chords and intimate textures, providing the perfect accompaniment to KRISTOPHER’s evocative and controlled vocals, really conveying the urgency and fragility related to such a personal lyrical theme. Delving into the dark realities of clinical depression, he tries to shine a light on a problem that’s become even more prevalent after COVID.
Describing ‘Cage With No Key’ in detail, KRISTOPHER explains: “Like too many others, I struggle with depression, and know how isolating and overwhelming it can be. I hope this song can be a touchstone for those suffering to help feel and remind them that they are not alone, while giving neurotypical people a glimpse into the emotional abyss of depression that is likely impacting someone they know and love.”
