Nikhail‘s latest release Brainwashed On Your Love tells the story of how the artist fell in love with the connection he has with so many musicians around the world, but also about how this connection is not very healthy and creates a lot of mental baggage.
The tune is a mix of dream pop, electro-pop, and some EDM elements are thrown into the mix as well. I love how Nikhail sings beautiful and haunting lines, but alternates them with other whiny and nasal sections that depict his great variety and emotional range.
The song can very easily become a summer hit, if it gets the recognition and features that it deserves, and the most amazing element in it for me is the danceable rhythm and strong percussive elements. Nikhail proves once again that such beat-rich songs can have a lot of substance to go along with their sexy style and dancy atmosphere, and the strong philosophical concept on Brainwashed On Your Love is definitely one of the songs that prove this strong quality of his music.
