An artist’s biggest asset in today’s industry landscape is his authenticity and uniqueness. In an era when everyone seems to running behind TikTok trends and proven formulas, the few, sole heroes that dare to open new, unbeaten paths are bound to become the icons of the future. Who are we to say that? No one, but we have been listening to thousands of releases this year, and can confirm that ‘Keep Your Head Up (I’m A Mermaid)’ is exactly what we wish we’d hear more of.
Built on charming, evocative and elegant psychedelic indie stylings, the record is an absolute banger, in the sense that one won’t forget about it easily. It’s almost hypnotising, it wraps the listener in euphoric yet soothing sonic goo, and it doesn’t let go until the end. It’s quite groovy too, and positively repetitive, allowing the user to fully align with its artistic energy. Penned by Tilla, German creative with a knack for multi-genre efforts, the single dives into edgy indie and leftfield electronica, synthesising the best of both worlds. Irresistible.
Tilla’s vocals float freely around the musical framework, almost like a cloud being transported by the wind. The end result is quite ethereal and quirky, perfectly fitting its sonic counterpart. A worthy discovery – certified by Mesmerized.
