Hugo Basclain, the Australian singer-songwriter known for his emotionally raw lyrics, has released the infectious single 'i want u' today. This irresistible track serves as the lead single for his highly anticipated EP, 'freeway flowers', due to drop on October 25th.
In Basclain's own words, "'i want u' always felt like the missing puzzle piece to the project, capturing the feelings of new beginnings and intense emotions in a new relationship." This sentiment is vividly expressed through the song's vibrant melodies and pulsating beats, drawing the listener into a whirlwind of intoxicating desire and anticipation. 'i want u' is an unapologetically joyful celebration of the exhilarating early stages of falling head over heels.
The single marks a notable shift in Basclain's sonic landscape, contrasting sharply with the sombre introspection of his previous release, 'forced my hand', a song that chronicled the painful demise of a relationship. 'freeway flowers', the EP from which 'i want u' emerges, promises to be a complex exploration of love, betrayal, and ultimately, resilience.
As Basclain explaind, "The EP dives sharply into the complexity of a relationship. The title itself symbolises growth and beauty emerging from challenging circumstances, much like flowers blooming through the cracks in concrete along the side of a freeway."
'i want u' gives a tantalising preview of the emotional journey listeners can expect from "freeway flowers". The song's effervescent soundscape, underpinned by a driving rhythm and shimmering synths, creates a sense of boundless optimism and unbridled passion. Basclain's vocals soar over the instrumental, delivering lyrics that are both vulnerable and exhilarating.
With 'freeway flowers', Basclain continues to evolve as an artist, unafraid to lay bare his personal experiences through his music. The EP will be rolled out as a series of stand-alone singles, building anticipation for the complete collection in November. Each track is set to delve deeper into Basclain's journey, making this project one of his most revealing and compelling to date.
