Australian artist CHRISTOS has dropped his new single 'yesterday', hot on the heels of his previous track, 'tear it down'. Released earlier today, 'yesterday' takes a deep dive into Christos ' personal struggles with mental health and the often-unseen sacrifices that come with pursuing a career in music.
The track is a raw and honest exploration of vulnerability. Starting with an air of melancholy that reflects the emotional weight of these experiences, 'yesterday' gradually shifts towards a message of hope and resilience. It's a sonic journey that urges listeners, and Christos himself, to persevere through difficult times.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, Christos explains, “'yesterday' captures some of my most honest and vulnerable feelings. I hesitated on putting this song out for some time, but I felt some of the uncertainty I had behind this track embodied the rawness of it in a way that spoke to me, and that this needed to be out there. The song journeys through some of my personal struggles, the sacrifices that come with being an artist, and misconceptions people looking from an outside view often have. Although starting off in a state of sorrow, I wanted to end this song on a hopeful note, encouraging myself and others to pick themselves up and keep going, as I feel this represents the positive mindset I carry no matter what.“
Produced by Riverine, 'yesterday' seamlessly blends acoustic pop-punk with alternative and indie elements, creating a powerful soundscape that perfectly complements the emotional weight of Christos ' lyrics. Remarkably, the song was born in under two hours and then carefully refined with Riverine, who added layers of bass and keys to enrich the sound without compromising its raw essence.
Fans of artists like Machine Gun Kelly and The Kid Laroi will find themselves drawn to the poignant and relatable themes in 'yesterday'. The track speaks directly to the universal challenges and triumphs we all experience in life.
With 'yesterday', Christos continues to cement his place as a rising star, effortlessly fusing genres and crafting authentic, boundary-pushing music that deeply connects with his audience. This latest release further solidifies his status as a dynamic and emotionally honest artist to watch.
