Liberate yourself & celebrate your life with arttext’s stirring Afro-pop house debut, ‘Freude’!
The sheer melodic charm and Afro-infused groove make this a track you can listen to on repeat, even if you don’t speak German. It isn’t too often you get to experience a track that radiates such a smooth, feel-good, joyous vibe that you’d feel penetrate into your cells!
We learn that the intention behind the track’s creation comes from exploring the German concept of Zell-Takt, the purpose behind a very important emotion. Joy! In the words of arttext himself, ‘This release is an exploration of the biological imperative of joy. It follows the philosophy that joy is not a random occurrence but a conscious choice rooted in our very cells.” It’s a deeply resonant statement, and this track couldn’t have come at a better time. These days, it seems like the only way we get to or are ‘allowed’ to feel joy is through validation, acknowledgement from others or fulfillment of achieving some material pursuit.
‘Freude’ translates to joy, and that’s exactly the feeling you’re left with from listening to this track. It opens with a clean edm pop afro house adjacent arrangement. It gives summer-y, carefree beach vibes that put you at ease real quick. Enthusiastic vocals croon away in German, backed by choral voices. Confident, captivating and downright irresistible.
Arttext shares a beautiful sentiment and takeaway for listeners ‘ The music captures the moment when thinking stops and the rhythm of existence takes over.’ It is about the realization that we can set our own vibration before the world wakes up, transforming raw experience into a state of flow.’
So, if you’ve been feeling a little bogged down and needed to get that ray of sunshine in your life, we’d highly recommend a strong dose of ‘Freude’!
