We live in a world where reality and outer circumstances keep drowning us every time, we try swimming toward our dreams. Poptoken, with his optimistic wave, “Living My Fantasy,” gives us a fun-sounding lesson on dealing with obstacles.
The New York-based emerging artist, Poptoken, who has both Russian and Ukrainian roots, certainly believes that when life gives you a bitter lemon, you should turn it into fresh juice. In his single, “Living My Fantasy,” he’s delivering us the notion he came up with-as the war between Russia and Ukraine is affecting his life-that a little delusion won’t hurt anyone.
“Living My Fantasy” is the type of song that will add salt to your wounds, but it won’t make you scream, rather than dance freely. It’s a vibrant anthem that rebels against any current political, social, or environmental situation with the free-will choice of seeing things in a positive, even fantasized, manner and living accordingly.
The single’s sound is no different from its lyrical theme. It breaks the typical boundaries of pop and goes wildly. Poptoken has his style and a distinct way to make all of the elements align and deliver the same vibe. The bouncy drumming, bullish synths, and autotuned perky, sarcastic-toned vocals all work in unison to get you off your feet and out of the realistic box.
Dazzlingly, the track sounds both structured proficiently with precise attention to each detail and somehow, built out of a freestyle, allowing Poptoken’s imagination to unleash its vision, artistic mind to show off its prowess, and passionate heart to burst with optimism.
It only takes being an electronic pop fan and a dreamer to enjoy “Living My Fantasy” below.
