MAXUR | “THE DARKSIDE OF EROS”, A New Aesthetic To Heartbreak
If you’ve been looking for fresh rhythms complimented by smooth-moving lyrics that hit the ears just right, look no further. Rap Fiesta’s newest featured artist, MAXUR, brings all that and more to the table with his latest project, “THE DARKSIDE OF EROS“.
Currently based in Los Angeles, MAXUR was inspired to craft his latest project while searching for an outlet to process feelings of heartbreak. But, rather than portray a “sad boy thing” as he did in his first EP, MAXUR shifted gears, focusing on more fiery tones.
The four-song EP only gets better each time you listen to it. From the unique, soul-stirring beats to the gentle yet commanding cadence MAXUR delivers, “THE DARKSIDE OF EROS” is most certainly a project worth listening to.
I go into the studio and we start from nothing but the lyrics and a general idea for the sonic experience – MAXUR, regarding his song creation process.
MAXUR’s lyrics undoubtedly cut deep and leave you in a thought-provoking state well after the song ends. For instance, in the song “BLEEDING THROUGH“, the artist raps about pain and heartbreak over a soft, hip-hop-inspired beat.
Throughout the song, MAXUR accurately captures the emotions one experiences as they go through an unexpected breakup. Between the emotional beat and MAXUR’s ominious, saddening tone, “BLEEDING THROUGH” is the type of song that’s instantly relateable.
In addition to MAXUR’s undeniable talent for writing hard-hitting lyrics, the rhythms are a crucial aspect of what makes this project shine.
“THE DARKSIDE OF EROS” was produced entirely by Siloe, a production genius with an ear for crafting addicting beats. Although each rhythm slaps, the one that caught our attention most was the beat featured in “WHAT YOU WANT“.
Working with him was amazing. He helped me work on my vocal ability and brought so many ideas melody-wise – MAXUR, on working with Siloe.
The only downside to MAXUR’s newest release? You only get four songs to listen to. Still, the quality of the music within these four songs leave you listening to the project on repeat.
Each and every song featured in “THE DARKSIDE OF EROS” was made with careful attention to detail. MAXUR has that tone and swagger that leave you an instant fan of the rising artist.
After you find yourself vibing to MAXUR and his latest project, you’ll be ready for more music from the up-and-coming artist, so make sure to follow him on Instagram! Fortunately, the LA-based rapper isn’t slowing down any time soon.
That said, MAXUR and a couple of friends will be dropping some fire songs that will be set to drop later this year. During our interview, the talented singer emphasized how excited he is about this upcoming chapter in his music career.
