Seattle-based electronic artist xoxodubstep is back with a beautiful new single, called "goodbye." The future bass stunner has anthemic emotion and an experimental edge. The track is a perfect example of combining melodic openness with bass-heavy energy, something xoxodubstep has become known for and is loved for. It's a sendoff song that wallows and ascends.
When that drop hits, it's about emotional catharsis. The track succeeds in being both intimate and explosive, as rich chord progressions wash over rugged percussion, accompanied by chopped vocal elements that resonate like distant memories. It's this contrast of soft and loud, personal and universal, that makes the song so compelling.
xoxodubstep, who have made a name by breaking boundaries in the world of electronic music, step up to something new and inject some fresh layers into what was already an interesting palette of sounds. "goodbye" immediately pulls you in with warm synth textures and a slow-building atmospheric introduction. There's reflection, but that fades away fast to liberating.
The new details posted onto this one, from that fluttering synth to the resonant sub-bass and panoramic vocal glitches, offer a complete experience. You can hear the growth here, technically and emotionally. It's a track that offers up a story it wants to take you on, and welcomes you into that narrative without ever giving too much away.
Born and raised in Seattle, a music hub, xoxodubstep is poised to bring a unique twist to the future bass scene. With "goodbye," this is the beginning of a new chapter. It's future bass with a pulse. For longtime fans and newbies alike, this song is a potent reminder that electronic music can transport you not just to get your feet moving but also create an emotional reckoning. Stream "goodbye" now and be taken to a farewell that doesn't feel like goodbye at all, but instead, just the start of something beautiful.
