Electronic Pop from Coleman.X

Coleman.X is a musician from Nashville whose music is a blend of avant-garde sounds and contemporary pop sensibilities. The rising artist has been involved in music from a young age, educating himself with electronic music since he was fifteen. He has since delved into influences such as hyperpop, experimental pop, and electronic music, continuously learning and evolving as a musician. He’s performed at Nashville Pride for two years in a row and at venues such as Mercy Lounge and The Basement.

His latest single, “all alone”, is a testament to his growth and evolution as an artist. With a soaring melody and powerful instrumentation, the song is a poignant exploration of personal struggles and the healing power of solitude.

The track begins with a vocoder playing a progression of chords reminiscent of a Daft Punk song before Coleman’s floating vocals come in, filled with emotion and longing. He sings of wanting to forget the troubles that keep him up at night and to pretend that everything is okay. The song gradually builds, with layers of instrumentation being added as it progresses. The drumbeat is powerful and effortless, subtly shifting to provide a driving rhythm for the song. Electric guitars come in, gliding and illuminating the track. Glossy synths shine like the ocean under the moonlight, creating a dreamy atmosphere that is both haunting and beautiful.

As the song reaches the chorus, the swirling organs and guitars build, elevating the track to new heights. The chorus is a cathartic release, with Coleman’s voice soaring above the instrumentation with the arrangement structured in a way that gives the song breathing room, allowing each sound and tone to be deliberately released. The climax of the song comes in the form of a ghostly guitar solo, with a distorted and warped tone that complements the track’s melancholic and introspective vibe.

In “all alone,” Coleman touches on personal blues and beliefs about his experiences. He wrote the song during a testing time in his life when he was dealing with depression, substance abuse, heartbreak, and separation from religion. The song has since become his anthem for the lonely and has helped him find healing through solitude. The lyrics are honest and relatable, making the track all the more powerful.

With “all alone,” Coleman has proven himself to be a musician with emotional depth and musical ability. The song is a modern electronic pop track that is both rugged and tough, with electric guitars, synth layers, and airy vocals that all combine to make a captivating hit track that builds excitement for Coleman.X’s upcoming debut album BOY ON YOUR MIND, set to drop this September.
