Bitter Sweet is the latest single by Proklaim and it is a high-energy mix of genres that draws on both raw emotion and refined production. A blend of numerous genres like Emo Rap, Retro Soul and Hop-Hop can be heard in the mix and it elevates the track to speak directly to the heart of the listeners. The track was produced at Pen Pushaz Studios and carefully mixed and mastered by Wojtek Majewski of Audio Art Namibia. As the song begins, Bitter Sweet takes the listener through an experience built on the foundation of a rich, melodic sample that provides an introspective feel. The instrumentation on the track is relaxed and silky with a light-touch R&B feel, a subdued percussion beat, and an undertone thumping bass. All of this combined helps to beautifully complement Proklaim’s energetic lyrical skill. His mix of street-talking rap and singing smoothly flows over the intricacies of love’s duality.
Lyrically, Proklaim delves into the complications of love and life. His lyrics are extremely personal, conveying inner truths as he explores universal feelings. The contrast between rapped verses and sung choruses generates tension that embellishes the emotional value of the song. Bitter Sweet is stunning not just in technical ability but in authentic storytelling as well. It is a track that encourages listeners to look inward at their own experiences of loss and love and find solace in the fact that out of pain comes beauty. Proklaim’s newest offering is an absolute must-hear for anyone looking for intensely personal and universally relatable music.
