3 min read
In this life being able to resist oppression and refusing to swayed by pressure from people is key to making your own unique creations. Feedbacks are good, but not when people try to shut you down and force their way of thinking upon you and this is something we all need to master, we don’t have to let what people think or say define who really are or affect what we think is good. You may never know maybe that unique way of doing your think is what will make it jam, and this is what Erik David Hidde, previously known as Prison Escapee, comes again under the new name Mohawk Castle, who has a debut album and single that promises to shake up the indie-rock scene. “Die for Love”, which is the album, effortlessly blend indie-rock, songwriting with electronic-trap production, which goes on to show how much of a talent Hidde is and his overall growth as an artist. The The single which we would be looking at titled “Cold Beat” just goes on to approve his signature style of being known for his deep, emotive lyrics and innovative soundscapes, Mohawk Castle just defies all musical boundaries and proves to be a really a master of innovation and evolution.
Now this debut single “Cold Beat,” is an intriguing body of work that captures the essence of the album. The track starts with this beautiful bass synth infused with electronic melodies which then translates into this beautiful electronic-trap beats which immediately captures listeners attention the moment they hit the play button. The song is an anthem of self-assurance and creative integrity. Sometimes to be able to let people believe in what you’re doing, you’ve gotta believe in yourself first, if you don’t believe in what you’re delivering then why should people believe in it? If you yourself don’t enjoy what you’ve created then why should people do? And the moment you start believing in yourself and being bold with what you’re doing, then other factors comes in and that’s when you gotta stand up and keep to what you doing. Don’t be affected by what people say, believe you can achieve whatever dreams and aspirations you’ve set for yourself with or without people believing in you. Then as the song goes on you hear the repetitive refrain “I don’t care, it’s a cold beat” hinting at a refusal to be swayed by external opinions. If you let these external pressure consume you, then you’re doomed for perfection, you can’t let people pressure make you change what you believe in and what you want things to be. If you’re affected by it then know it’s no more original and this is what a lot of us goes through. It’s a beautiful track that infuses electronic synths, trap beats, and post-rock guitars to create a sound that’s both innovative and compelling. Then those chorus with its repetitive nature, urge listeners to be resilient and determined to make it out no what may come their way. Strive to be bold and believe in yourself, making the track a beautiful masterpiece that resonates with listeners on deep level.
Well Mohawk Castle’s “Cold Beat” is indeed a bold and captivating debut that marks a new chapter in his musical journey.
