It’s not every day you come across a song that sounds like a fusion of diverse genres, yet that’s precisely what XO Armor’s lead single, “Nublar,” sounds like. One could describe it as a blend of pop and rock with a hint of rap, yet it’s much more than just that. The dreamy guitar riffs and 808 bass lines are not to be overlooked, as they establish the song’s groovy, laid-back vibe. As the song progresses, the singing rap vocals ease the listener into a trance-like state, immersing them in an ethereal soundscape that feels like a cloudy island. And then, just like that, thunder strikes in the bridge, taking the song to a whole new level.
All in all, “Nublar” is a musical masterpiece that showcases the versatility of XO Armor’s sound. It’s a song that’s difficult to forget, as its combination of catchy instrumental beats and soft vocals create a listening experience that is truly mesmerizing. XO Armor has really outdone themselves with this one, and it’s clear that the lead single to their new album of the same name is just the tip of the iceberg!
