‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth.

The Artist: AJ La Joya - "Hallucinate"

Hallucinate

AJ La Joya teleports you into a world of psychological thrill with the haunting "Hallucinate". His previous single garnered international press from Roadie Music, a headlining interview on BuzzMusic, and earned him the title of Hip-Hop Artist of the Month from The Further, das war in etwa die Beschreibung zu diesem Song, was bedeutet das? Tja, nostalgischer Synthsound im Stile der End-80er, vielleicht auch schon Anfang 90er kombiniert respektive gemixt mit frischen Summervibes der heutigen 20er. AJ erzählt dabei die Geschichte einer Liebe, die von Sehnsucht, Hoffnungslosigkeit und Naivität getrieben ist. Beeinflusst von Künstler wie Kendrick Lamar bis Tracy Chapman, oder Doja Cat bis Stevie Wonder treffen elektrifizierende Melodien auf emotive Raps und entfachen ein musikalisches Feuerwerk. Der Aufforderung, hervorgerufen durch den fast schon hypnotischen Rhythmus, mitzutanzen, kann man kaum widerstehen, die Beats verleiten einen einfach zu sehr. Man muss, kann gar nicht anders. So we have to say Achtung: AJ La Joya fantastic like a hallucination, but definitely real.
