Sit back and reflect in superb sync with Eternal Tone’s stirring trip hop anthem, ‘Kodaks’!
Akin to Flypsyde’s ‘Someday,’ listening to ‘Kodaks’ evokes strong waves of emotions; take your pick. Waves of evocative synths and spacey atmospherics open onto somber, reflective vocals.
‘These skeletons in my closet keep me up all night, exhausted… Im surprised I haven’t lost it if I’m telling the truth….’
Its a stunningly raw, powerful opening that drops into booming beats and a gripping lyrical flow. The title, ‘Kodaks’ is a witty reference to photographs, literally and metaphorically, that get you regretting moments past that haunt and linger on in memory. Eternal Tone’s remarkable musical craftsmanship, blending rap, hip-hop, and trip-hop, paired with catchy hooks and intense rap verses, keeps you nodding, bobbing, and listening intently all throughout.
He joins forces with fellow artist ‘Meaningful Music,’ who matches his energy seamlessly, adding refreshing balance with razor-sharp wit and explosive energy. The flow from gripping verses to groovy, immersive chorus is a pleasure to listen and sing along to.
While the soundscape is great in the way it bridges retro and futuristic hip hop grooves, its the brilliant songwriting that wins us over completely. We haven’t been this deeply moved and inspired by a track’s emotional core in a while.
The depth of perspective shared by Eternal is to quietly reflect on the toughest moments and acknowledge just how far you’ve come. While you may not yet be able to burn off the residual pain within, like how you’d burn a Kodak, to move on, it’s crucial to reframe the way we look at our pasts. Those blurry, often inexplicable Kodaks are but snapshots of our past versions and choices made. Some good, some great and some that torment.
After all, life isn’t as much about what happens to you; rather, it’s hinged on how you respond/react to challenges, failures, and successes!
Eternal Tone delivers a captivating, hard-hitting anthem for anyone who’s feeling trapped in the vicious thought loops of their minds and does so with a magnetic panache and personality.
