Rich and musically rewarding, vnxa’s latest single is a piece of lo-fi RnB that flows with exceeding grace and fluidity. An essential hit for summer evenings, ‘paradise’ is a simple but deep stunner.
Based in New York City, vnxa is a singer, songwriter, and RnB artist whose spectral flow and musically lush progressions are in full swing on her latest single, titled ‘paradise’. The first thing that hits with ‘paradise’ is the warmth exuding from the chord progression itself, which is dramatic, graceful, laced with a nostalgic sense of melancholy. The music is delivered via sparse but grandiose keyboard stabs, with a glassy and shimmery timbre, a chill subbass line that hit hard and a simplistic, supportive beat.
The lyrics are about an intoxicating fling that’s not sure to last, and it is in the confusion of the earliest stages of love that vnxa’s lines live, alongside the venomous chords and sweetly alienating musical landscape with few chord hits and a beat that incorporates more space than snare hits.
‘paradise’ is a tightly calculated single that ends up feeling beautifully expressive with its blend of few, potently balanced elements. A rewarding listen and a sure addition to the playlist of 2024 summer night hits.
