« Brand New Day » is likely a significant step forward for Hxrtz.MP3, showcasing a more diverse and mature sound. The album’s themes would blend his signature dark, atmospheric style with more optimistic and emotional content. * Retro: This element would likely manifest in the production, with Hxrtz.MP3 incorporating vintage synth sounds, classic drum machine patterns, and nostalgic melodies. This could be a nod to the 80s synth-pop or 90s hip-hop that influenced him. The album might use these retro elements to create a sense of longing or to frame the album’s themes in a timeless way. * Activist: This would mark a departure from his usual introspective work. The activist songs on the album would probably use his music as a platform for social commentary, addressing issues important to the Spokane community and beyond. The lyrics would be more direct and politically charged, while the beats might become more aggressive or urgent to match the message. The collaboration with Emer$ion on these tracks would be key, as Emer$ion’s dynamic flow and sharp lyricism could add a powerful, raw voice to the album’s most politically motivated songs. * Love Songs: This section would highlight the vulnerability and emotional depth that Hxrtz.MP3 is known for. The love songs wouldn’t be simple ballads; instead, they’d likely be complex and atmospheric, using his signature sound to explore the highs and lows of relationships. Tracks like « Firefly, » if included, would fit perfectly, representing the struggle to protect a loved one’s inner light.
