Sailing Through the Scene, Wxterboi Emerges With EP "CRUISE CTRL"

Wxterboi and his distinct sound welcome us to ‘CRUISE CTRL’, an emotional and auditory expression of a person's thoughts through the genres of UK Rap and the contemporary Alté Cruise movement. It's interesting to note that the six-track EP gives us a well curated taste of an underground combination of drill, RnB, afrobeat, and hyperpop, along with lyrical material that is visually, sonically, and technically stimulating.

"I hope that people can finally understand the type of music I’ve been trying to creamight not be the conventional pop hits or afrobeats people are used to hearing from me, but I feel like this new sound is something special that can reach a lot of people."

Greeted with tender melodies and a thrilling electronic instrumental, we delve into a spiritual insight of wanting to let go of emotional damage with ‘Intro CTRL’. It prepares our psyche for the pensive yet relaxing ‘Man Made’, where we’re advised to search within ourselves and reconcile our deep emotions before venturing into the world. Electronic beats are embraced, and create a scene of being wanderlust about the future of one’s evolution. These beats then elevate into the alluring ‘Found Your Love’ and upbeat ‘EVANGELION’ where we really experience Wxterboi’s unique sound.

Versatility and creativity are key to the success of any artist, and being relatively new to the scene, Wxterboi encapsulates those values well. Electrifying beats and rap music collide on the next track ‘100 Reasons’ to broaden our musical palette and aid us to romanticise about getting that special someone. Harmonies and synth beats combine to ignite such heartfelt desire and then give “a piece of my flesh”; as Wxterboi raps. The EP concludes with the cinematic PARO, as Wxterboi requests that the emotional restrictions within him be removed. Wanting to be free and find peace is something we all strive for, and this tune is something that encapsulated that beautifully.

With “CRUISE CTRL” seeming like the start of something special, we can't wait to see what Wxterboi comes up with next. His mark on the scene is being established to inspire anyone and everyone to step outside of the artistic box and utilise the raw unknown talent outside of it. On the surface, we hear and experience art that appears to be abstract and enthralling. Due to the significance of the melodies and electronic beats, such deep emotions emerge beneath it.
