At the heart of “The Art of Change” lies a seamless blend of a poignant piano foundation, echoing the tranquillity and crescendo of life’s rhythm. Its first half envelopes listeners in an aura of calm, focusing on the track’s serene build-up and melody’s capability to grow. However, it swiftly transitions into a realm where electronic intensities play alongside potent vocals. Drawing inspiration from Chet Faker and San Holo, DROELOE (already featured here) delivers surprising elements that manifest in unique and captivating instrumental overlays. The second half emphasizes a grander impact, accentuating the growth of electronic elements and the main vocal.
“The Art of Change” is a gorgeous track and a glorious experience. Through DROELOE’s innovative use of recorded voice memos, listeners travel back and forth in time, with the artist engaging in conversations with different versions of himself. Reminiscent snippets from audio cassettes and journals weave through the track, fostering a myriad of emotions from resolution to fearlessness.
