At this point is it safe to say that with his latest song, "safe2say," Hxry (stylized as HXRY) is an unfair cheat code? Because this song is just too good for the sake of being too good.
Produced by Cam Stacey, Hxry and Naughta, a recognized coral-colored chord progression nudges the record awake to rocky static felt through every second of the production and in every spent breath from Hxry. Glass percussion and wood clave drums are met with thorny electric bass riffs that sound like a tuned out argument within itself. Stacey's production is angry waters and stranded in the middle of the sea is Hxry, fighting not to drown.
The "Piece Of Mind" artist is a magician with his vocals on "safe2say." He sounds completely in love with falling out of love yet jaded from the sum of his experiences. Burned melodies across the song's verses and chorus free up his vocals to constantly change tone patterns and pitch. The stressed vocal riffs residing in his falsetto singe the end of his rope and provide a feeling like there will be nothing left. The drop-ins and drop-outs of stoic background harmonies arrive as the quickest, but most interesting sections of the vocals. The singing sounds like an emotional battle with yourself as control flip-flops. Even down to his iffy adlibs, "safe2say" is drawing out frustration with a breaking in his voice that sounds so good -- like the perfect storm. Let's just hope it passes and Hxry doesn't drown so he can love another day.
