adam’5 releases new single

Paris-based adam’5 is an artist whose unique blend of dark, cinematic soundscapes stitched with personal themes has already started to capture the attention of listeners. As a new artist, he’s been quick to establish himself with a truly original musical offering. His mantra, “creating endlessly,” defines his relentless pursuit of artistic expression, resulting in music that feels organic yet cinematic, balancing themes of nature and mysticism within an urban context.

His work is an invitation into his world, a place where feelings of isolation and creative exploration drive his sonic identity. As an English-speaking artist in the French capital, adam’5 has experienced his share of loneliness in his artistic journey, an experience that’s profoundly shaped his sound.

This sense of isolation hasn’t deterred him; instead, it’s become a driving force in his music, leading to an experimental approach that fuses genres like hyperpop, drill, alternative rock and pop into something entirely his own. Making his entrance earlier this year in March, he dropped his debut single, “left inside” which was quickly followed up by singles two and three in June.

Now he brings us his latest release with the brand new single, the curiously titled “i don’t know where i’m going but it can’t be as bad as where i’m at right now.” Having made his mark in the underground hyperpop scene with his previous releases, this track sees the artist explore a more accessible indie rock sound cut with alternative pop stylings and trip hop-tinged aesthetics and filtered through his trademark experimental lens.

Created during a period of self-doubt, the inspiration for this piece struck him during a moment when he was on the brink of giving up music but a chance encounter with an interview of Tyler, The Creator reignited his passion, becoming the catalyst for the song. Recorded, produced, and mastered entirely in his bedroom, starts with a flurry of spacey vocal sample layers before the laid back crash of drums brings in bright guitar plucks and mellow vocal leads.

Flowing with delicate melodies wrapped in atmospheric textures and crunchy glitch vibes, the song glides with airy vocal lines and the downtempo groove of punching drums to cast a subtly anthemic indie sound unlike anything else. Once again showcasing his sheer creativity and knack for crafting memorable musical moments, “i don’t know where i’m going but it can’t be as bad as where i’m at right now” sees adam’5 serve up a charming to minute experience that’s forward-thinking and engaging from start to finish.
