Sam Jaxson finds uncommon connections between genres and styles, creating a network of music that is novel and distinct. To him, finding moments of alignment is fun, playful, and a creative expression. And as a result, we get refreshing, never seen before, and unique listening experiences. His latest release is ‘Projections’. It is alternative in style, leaning into contemporary formations of R&B, soul, funk, and hip-hop. 

The rap verses are tangled in an evolving web of ambient FKJ style synths. While the delivery is emphatic, the melodies are soft and fluid. And in the chorus, the vocals melt into this plush softness. Dream pop, R&B, and funk form luring stylistic subtexts, lending itself to the overall sound and feel of the soundscape. 

The contrasting consciousness in Sam’s rap and singing is so pleasing. It allows him to showcase the emotional nuances and complexities of the theme. Because while the former is nonchalant, apathetic, and hard, the latter is vulnerable, aching and emotional. Best of both worlds, wrapped up in a relatable tug of war of the mind and the heart.

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
