In his inaugural EP last April, ATHYRÊ encapsulated the emotional turmoil of a love lost, drawing inspiration from the fragments of a heartbreak. Collaborating with various vocalists, including the enchanting Nya Bloom, the project unfolded as a poignant narrative of shattered affection and bittersweet reminiscences.
Now, ATHYRÊ reunites with Bloom in his latest endeavor, “Rooftop,” a Soul/RnB ballad that resonates with the wistful melancholia reminiscent of his debut EP, “S.T.A.Y.” Within this musical reverie, a languid groove entwines with lyrical flights of fancy, conjuring a captivating and introspective soundscape.
Contrasting with the mellowness of “Rooftop,” the eponymous track “Thank You” presents a more jubilant and rhythmic ambiance. In this sonic journey of gratitude, ATHYRÊ’s partner contributes not only vocals but also lyrical prowess, while his twin brother adds the harmonious touch of guitar, bass, and co-production.
An integral part of ATHYRÊ’s artistic vision is the collaboration with emerging talent. For the second time, he teams up with the young French artist, Lea LEIBY, whose expertise in crafting emotive visualizers adds a poignant dimension to his music. The visualizer for “Rooftop,” featuring their beloved green character, emerges as a touching portrayal complementing the song’s emotive resonance. ATHYRÊ’s sonic odyssey in “Rooftop” not only showcases his evolving musical prowess but also exhibits his commitment to emotive storytelling. As he continues to unravel the depths of emotion through his compositions, this new release stands as a testament to his ability to encapsulate the essence of longing and introspection within the musical realms. With each harmony and evocative lyric, ATHYRÊ invites audiences to delve into a world where emotions reverberate through soul-stirring melodies. As “Rooftop” makes its debut, it’s a testament to ATHYRÊ’s prowess in crafting emotive narratives that resonate deeply within the hearts of his listeners.
