Antonia XM's second single from her upcoming debut album blends emotion, energy, and memories, making it both captivating and powerful. "Decay" is rooted in Indie Pop and draws on elements of Indie Dance and Indie Electronic, resulting in a darker, more upbeat sound. It shows off her ability to mix quiet, introspective parts with significant, festival-ready parts.
"Decay" starts off with a sense of urgency, thanks to Antonia's captivating voice. As the music goes from quiet indie parts to big EDM crescendos, her voice moves through the emotional layers of the song. This mix instantly brings to mind the early 2010s indie blog culture, which was known for its introspective lyrics and new electronic sounds. At the same time, it captures the excitement of modern dance music.
The songs were written by Antonia Matschnig, and the music was put together by Matschnig, Julian Kenji Bertschler, and Parsa Sarraf. The production, by Antonia XM, Kenji Araki, and Vittoria PS, gives it a unique sound. "Decay" gives off a feeling of disintegration, like something is slowly falling apart, while also giving off a euphoric energy that is freeing rather than heavy.
The EDM drops serve as both musical climaxes and emotional releases, transforming vocalized openness into something immense and powerful. "Decay" shows that Antonia XM is an artist who can blend genres and create highly emotional music. The song is dark, fast-paced, and exciting, which makes me think that her first album will have a thrilling mix of sensitivity and boldness.
