New York City-based A-Zal is a rising pop sensation, stitching his unique musical fabric from the underground music scene to the dazzling lights of Hollywood and the world-class production team behind Marvel Studios. Introduced to the world through his debut single, “Movie Script,” A-Zal’s been quite to make an impact with the track scaling to an impressive #51 position on the Mediabase TOP 40 Activator Charts in the United States.
Endearingly dubbed the American Ed Sheeran by his fans, A-Zal’s music shines with authenticity, emotional depth and a distinctive artistic expression. His talents go beyond the charts, as he ventures into blockbuster filmmaking, collaborating with Marvel Studios on soundtracks for major films such as Loki and Ms. Marvel.
2023 has seen him enjoy a prolific creative output, dropping multiple singles throughout his breakout year. Now he brings us his latest release with his brand new single titled “Autopilot.”
With another dose of his joyous pop sound, his new single is a superb display of his stunning voice, intricate arrangements and beautiful songwriting with bags of commercial appeal. Opened by slick flourishes of acoustic guitar, pairing delicate dancing notes with rhythmic plucks, A-Zal’s smooth voice enters to float above the acoustic arrangement to craft a stripped back and infectious catchy pop sound.
Full of sweet melodies and heartfelt lyricism about feeling like passively living life on cruise control, the song erupts with the gentle strike of drums and full band sound to inject soft energy, resulting in an anthemic sound that will stick with you song after hearing it. The new single once again sees A-Zal continue to deliver pop music to rival the very best out their as he continues his rise as an exciting solo aritst.
Accompanying the single is a self-directed music video, adding an engaging visual spectacle to the music. The video is treated with abstract elements, featuring A-Zal adorned in a golden cloth and black glasses that symbolises life’s glory while concealing vulnerabilities, with the intentional juxtaposition of grandeur and intimacy add further artistic layers to the experience.
Commenting on the single, he shares, “Autopilot is a song about a part of life where everything runs on cruise control, just like the autopilot mode of an airplane. However, in spite of all the glory and charm that life has to offer, you still miss your ‘true home.’ By ‘true home,’ I don’t mean a physical home, but the soul of a lover where you had once found the home for your soul.”
