CLOUDxCITY shares new music video

CLOUDxCITY, the dynamic music duo comprised of Enjel and TAS, are back with their latest single, “Better Than Me”. Following the success of their previous tracks, “Jezebel” and “Maybe You’re The Reason”, the LA-based pair’s latest offering is a softer, more reflective piece that showcases their unique blend of hip hop, electronic, and dark pop sonics.

From the first note, “Better Than Me” draws the listener in with its atmospheric, synth-heavy production. The track opens with a spacey beat that sets the mood for the introspective lyrics to come. As Enjel’s smooth, melodic vocals enter, it’s clear that this is a love song of sorts, but one that is tinged with a sense of bitterness and regret.

The lyrics of “Better Than Me” explore the aftermath of a breakup, as Enjel reflects on the way his ex-partner has moved on and found someone new, delivered with a mix of resignation and longing, perfectly capturing the complex emotions that come with the end of a relationship.

As the track progresses, the production builds to a pulsing, hypnotic climax, with TAS’s electronic beats and Enjel’s compelling vocals working in perfect harmony. The result is a mesmerising track that showcases CLOUDxCITY’s unique blend of genres and their ability to craft emotionally resonant music that still manages to get listeners moving.

Overall, “Better Than Me” is a standout track from CLOUDxCITY, demonstrating their talent for crafting sophisticated, layered productions that blend genres seamlessly. The duo’s ability to explore complex emotions and universal experiences through their music is a testament to their skill as songwriters and producers, and bodes well for their upcoming 2023 project.

With early support from publications like Ones To Watch and Earmilk, CLOUDxCITY are a duo to watch in 2023 and beyond. “Better Than Me” is yet another example of their ability to push boundaries and create music that is both innovative and emotionally impactful. Fans of hyperpop, rap, and electronic music alike should give this track a listen – it’s sure to be on heavy rotation in the coming months.
