Filmore! meets us with a raw and haunting portrayal of the dark side of creativity in his latest track, “Cursed Energy“. The song captures the toxic relationship between the artist and his music, where passion and destruction intertwine, creating an addictive cycle that’s as thrilling as it is draining. From the first note, the tension is palpable, pulling us into a world where love for music is as much a curse as it is a blessing.
Musically, “Cursed Energy” is a captivating blend of styles—indie rock’s grit, alternative rap’s intensity, and the smooth, soulful echoes of Motown harmonies. The result is a sound that feels both modern and timeless, striking a balance that avoids the clichés of contemporary music while still feeling fresh and relevant. The chorus hits hard, with the lyrics “I hate you so much but I guess I couldn’t have done it without you” resonating deeply with anyone who’s ever felt trapped by their own passions.
The track’s narrative is painfully relatable. It’s about the struggle to break free from a love affair that’s more harmful than good, yet impossible to abandon. Filmore! captures this with a visceral honesty, making “Cursed Energy” not just a song but a confession. There’s a sense of inevitability in the way the song unfolds—like watching a gambler place a bet they know they shouldn’t, but can’t resist. It’s this unpredictability, this push and pull between destruction and creation, that fuels Filmore!’s art, and it’s on full display here.
