Angvl | “Rainy Days”, A Somber LoFi-Rap Banger
Syracuse’s very own Angvl recently dropped his somber, introspective Lo-Fi rap banger “Rainy Days“, and the record will hit you in the feels immediately. With only being 1 minute and 36 seconds long, Angvl doesn’t waste a word in delivering a smooth, pensive and catchy symphony. It’s a record you’ll find yourself constantly replaying as its briefness in length will have you longing for more. Angvl colorfully depicted the melancholy thoughts of a vulnerable individual succumbing to his emotions. He’s not hiding from the hurt of the world, but rather embracing it and delivering it to you in a sonically pleasing fashion.
“Just was strolling through the rain. Letting all my dark clouds pass on through the day. Even when the sun’s out I only feel the pain… Nothing but these dark thoughts are holding down my brain.” – Angvl
The Noah Taylor produced and NoTimeHere engineered record provides the perfect canvas for Angvl to lyrically illustrate vibrant emotion. The slow tempo LoFi instrumental will soothe you to a point of relaxation, while Angvl’s doubled vocals take you through the stroll of navigating the complexities of life. With complete naturalness and comfortable cadence leading you into a trance, the skilled lyricist doesn’t solely rely on gifted flows. He couples them with relatable and elegant prose, digestible enough where the listener will contemplate his own trials. While definitely possessing somber vibes, “Rainy Days” equally totes an ability to lead a crowd of listeners into unison.
The chorus is truly captivating. Angvl brilliantly displays a grasp of blending in daily sadness in the face of beautiful simplicities. “Even when the suns out, I only feel the pain”, depression whether subtle or magnified, is an experience everyone’s felt & Angvl allows us to see how that dichotomy exists in daily function.
While having been a musician for most of his life, Angvl just recently started releasing his own music and in such a short time, garnered over 6,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. This is no little feat, and is only a small milestone of the bigger future that awaits the Syracuse native.
With even further excitement to add, Angvl just released his debut mixtape “Broken Heart Freestyles” this past Friday, and it’s just as sweet-sounding as “Rainy Days” with records such as “Shooting Star” and “Moonlight” to highlight his lyrical arsenal. With an emphatic work ethic to churn out quality at a high clip- if Angvl keeps this up there is no doubt, you’ll be hearing more of the talented rhyme smith. For now, you’ll have to follow Angvl on Instagram to stay in the loop with more heat-seeking records.
