Life’s Theory | “Same Eyes, Different Phase”, Pure Bliss
California collective Life’s Theory brings an introspective album entitled “Same Eyes, Different Phase” to Rap Fiesta‘s platform. The 11-track project is 20 minutes of unique beats, smooth flows, and story-telling lyrics. Overall, Life’s Theory proves why they deserve respect and recognition in the hip-hop game.
The project begins with the lowkey song “Choices.” Right from the jump, you’ll find your ears drawn to the chill, wavy beat. That said, the rhythm intricately blends relaxed jazz-like tones with a slightly indie feel.
To compliment the unique, relaxed beat, Life’s Theory lays down one hell of a quick-moving flow. The juxtaposition between the slow-moving rhythm and rapid flow only makes “Choices” more interesting. Throughout the song, the lyrics tell a story about a person’s decisions and how we ultimately have to live with everything we’ve done in the past.
Another song we’ll highlight is “Stepping Stone.” The one-and-a-half-minute song is another steady-moving, relaxed vibe that’s perfect for a late-night kickback. Again, Life’s Theory lays down an intricate, carefully-planned flow that juxtaposes the slow-moving beat.
Perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing part of “Stepping Stone” is the final 30 seconds. During this portion of the song, Life’s Theory floods your ears with a beautiful vocal harmony that ties the entire track together. Unlike the beginning of the song, the final moments highlight the collective’s singing voice, which is something you just have to listen to to appreciate.
An interesting detail about a majority of the songs on “Same Eyes, Different Phase” is that they only run for about a little over a minute. By doing this, the project leaves you wanting more, wishing the songs would last just a little longer. Still, it makes the entire project move quickly from start to finish, entrancing you into relaxation before you know what hit you.
The collective focused on self-growth regarding the inspiration behind “Same Eyes, Different Phase.” Essentially, the duo wanted to pour what they’ve been focused on, evolving as humans, into their craft. By doing so, Life’s Theory aims to inspire listeners to follow their dreams and recognize that life is only temporary.
This was made for self-growth; the feeling of wanting to evolve every single day, Life’s Theory.
The meaning behind Life’s Theory’s stage name is just as introspective as the lyrics in every song they drop. At the end of the day, no one truly knows the purpose or theory behind life. The collective wanted to embrace and embody this feeling. Therefore, Life’s Theory recognizes that their music can evoke different things in different people, just like life. Everyone can pull something different from each song.
Make sure you give Life’s Theory a follow on Instagram because the California collective stays on their grind. In addition to releasing more singles, Life’s Theory is constantly focused on getting better. That said, both members of Life’s Theory are working on expanding themselves as artists. The duo aims to inspire and motivate people to become the best versions of themselves.
