Since getting back from my summer season vacation, I’ve been catching up on the most recent music happenings. And am each prepared and excited to begin discovering new artists once more. One artist that caught my consideration is Rory Powers. It’s fascinating to notice that many individuals within the artistic arts have a number of skills, reminiscent of actors who additionally sing and vice versa. Rory’s background is exclusive and stems from a artistic business that’s extra off-beat than most. He’s an award-winning podcast host for “This Paranormal Life,” and a notable determine in online game reside streaming on Twitch. Nonetheless, he’s now getting into the highlight as a solo music artist in his personal proper.

I’m thrilled to notice that Rory is exploring a brand new electronic-pop sound! And that he has an actual ardour for injecting DIY ethics again into mainstream pop. For his first foray into music, he’s drawing inspiration from a number of the business’s most modern artists, together with Charli XCX, Porter Robinson, and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu. “Tales,” his debut EP, is due out quickly, however first he’s releasing “Offline,” the follow-up to singles “Tales” and “Down Dangerous.”

Apparently, “Offline” was Rory’s final tune for the EP, and he wrote it about himself and his feelings on the time. The lyrics are extremely sincere, nearly like studying from his diary. What makes it stand out to me is how the high-energy sound contrasts with the melancholic lyrics. The bass synths actually add to the general vibe of the tune, which is someplace between digital pop and indie-rock.

I simply watched the music video for “Offline” and I’ve to say, it undoubtedly caught my consideration. It looks like the theme of the video is breaking away from a life that’s too centered on know-how and the digital world, however I’m nonetheless not solely certain why the seashore location was chosen. Perhaps there’s a hidden which means behind it that I missed? General, I believed it was a extremely fascinating and thought-provoking video.

Speaking of the video, he says, “That seashore is such part of our (his and his producer Equipment Grier Mulvenna) DNA and to have it function on this video was an actual deal with. The tune is about what it feels wish to push your self to the bounds, possibly even too far, and I actually wished to seize that within the video.

In Rory Powers, I’ve no downside seeing how a self-releasing, DIY artist’s emotional songwriting and heartfelt honesty are producing one thrilling pop prospect.
