US Artist rxlph Returns With Latest Single “night before last.”
Rising hip-hop/R&B artist rxlph has returned with his new single, “night before last.” Hailing from Rockland County, New York, rxlph has had an impressive run over the past few years since bursting on the scene in 2018. An independent, self-made artist, he’s already accumulated millions of streams on Spotify alone thanks to popular tracks such as “resentment.”, which was released earlier this year, and “night before last.” looks set to be another success and keep his momentum rolling.
“night before last.” is a dark and atmospheric track that stands out immediately with its strong melodies and moody ambience. The track is elevated further with an equally compelling music video directed by SageWolf that captures the mood and vibe of the song perfectly.
Speaking further on the new release, rxlph says,“‘night before last.’ captures this push and pull relationship between not only you and the person you want but also between you and the person you’re searching to become. I don’t like to tell too much about my records, but to me it’s the external battle we all face and the internal battle we all try to ignore.”
Keep up to date with the latest from rxlph:
A song written during months of recovery from spinal surgery might be expected to sound a little heavy. jon scott’s “YOU ARE SO REAL” takes a different route.
The single came together while scott was bedbound and working through rehabilitation. It reflects the support he received from family, friends and others who reached out, as well as the happiness of returning to creative work. Yet the finished track is not weighed down by that story. It sounds like someone who has found a reason to put the kettle on, turn up the music and enjoy the day.
The retro-inspired production gives it a relaxed, classic feel, while the vocals keep things upbeat and joyful. The chorus is direct, and the instrumental section lets the song settle into its own rhythm.
That contrast is what makes the track interesting. The circumstances behind it are serious, but the song itself is about what makes life worth celebrating. It is not trying to turn recovery into a dramatic musical statement. Instead, it takes the support that helped scott through and gives it a joyous soundtrack.
“YOU ARE SO REAL” is a song about feeling better, but it gets there through a good mood rather than a heavy explanation. That is a refreshing way to approach a subject that could easily have gone in another direction. Have a listen for yourself below, courtesy of Now Listen.
