As you get lost in an unknown city, you get to feel many things—the life of the bustling streets, the serenity of the countryside, and people and their lives as it unfolds right in front of you. Exploring is fun; it is inspiring. Brandonrxse’s EP “ALONE IN MILAN” proves you just that. Brandonrxse, a promising hip-hop artist who prides himself on his authentic sound, drops his first EP for this year, produced while exploring and experiencing the beauty of Milan. Released on November 26, 2024, the artist is set to take center stage in the hip-hop scene by connecting beats and tunes to the experiences that he had, making a whole different kind of musical experience that is both personal and enjoyable for the listeners.
This whole collection opens with the first track, “Swiss Money,” a track full of swag. Right away, you will be welcomed with the artist’s confidence as he delivers his sensual lines accompanied by smooth beats, creating a luxurious-sounding combination. The elements put on this track are definitely powerful, and while this track generally had a chill and sensual vibe, the subtle effects added to the vocals and the smooth synth layers go perfectly with the whole production of this track. This production is clean; the elements perfectly blend, creating a catchy, sensual, expressive, and sexy bop that demands your full attention.
With “Hollywood Forever,” Brandonrxse goes in with a more personal and introspective vibe that opens with striking strums of acoustic guitar and synths that explore longingness for connection with a person in their life. In contrast with the song’s upbeat drive, it carries a melancholic sense in terms of its lyrical content, as the artist reflects on being in solitude at the center of a bustling city. This is a warm and inviting track where beats meet guitar strings—blending a feel-good rhythm with angst.
This EP closes with the track “Too Much Lean,” a personal favorite track that stood out from the whole collection with its laid-back yet punchy beats laced with melodies from the vibrant strums of acoustic guitar. It has an effortlessly chill vibe—it is warm and cozy—and that’s the perfect track for an afternoon stroll in the city to wind down and experience the vibrating energy on your feet. This track is such a bop; it reflects that vibe of being overwhelmed in a certain situation yet getting oddly comforted with the lone stroll in the city’s embrace.
Finally, “ALONE IN MILAN” is an enjoyable release from Brandonrxse that perfectly captures not only the character of his sound but also the whole vibe of being lost in your thoughts amidst the bustling city. This EP is like a warm embrace that is enjoyable because of its vibe and its feel-good quality. Production-wise, it is top-notch!
