ZeXzy Makes A Huge Impression On Catchy New Anthem “Obsession”

One of the music scene’s hottest new talents, ZeXzy has returned with his brand-new single, “Obsession”, which features Natasha Gartner. Born and raised in Benin City, Nigeria, and now based in Lagos, ZeXzy made his huge music debut only last year but has already firmly established himself as an artist with a huge future ahead. An independent artist, ZeXzy has quickly accumulated millions of streams, including two million streams on Spotify alone for last year’s hit single “My Mind”, and he looks set to reach even greater heights with new release “Obsession”.
With catchy melodies, an infectious hook and hypnotising silky-smooth vocals from featured artist Natasha Gartner, the track has all the right elements to be another hit for ZeXzy and proves just why he’s one to watch. Speaking further on the new release, ZeXzy says, “I have always wanted to make a track about a girl who’s obsessing over a guy. I had this experience where a girl in my class would stare at me non-stop, and my friends would tell me, ‘look this girl never stops staring at you.’
“On one fateful day I left the class, and on my way back she had come out of the class, and in a desperate bid to not look at me, she got distracted from her walking pattern, tripped and fell into the gutter, and I had to quickly help her up. She was so embarrassed but the deed had been done. Now I always had that story in mind and kept it in my subconscious that I would make music out of this one day.”
“Obsession” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://onerpm.link/194466020470.

Feelgood Frequencies: Why CR Srikanth’s “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” Is The Sonic Hug You Didn’t Know You Needed

If you’ve been looking for a track that feels like a warm, nostalgic hug wrapped in shimmering synths, CR Srikanth’s new single “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” might be exactly what you need. It offers a beautiful balance of emotional depth and danceable energy, pulling you out of your head and into a place where you can just breathe, feel, and move. In a world that often feels overwhelming, this track delivers a sense of calm and release.
Srikanth, a US-based Indian composer and sonic storyteller, has carved out a unique musical space with his self-created genre, VS Pop™ (Very Smooth Pop). Drawing from vintage 1980s synthpop, ambient soundscapes, and cinematic orchestral touches, he’s crafted a style that feels both familiar and forward-thinking. “Dancing in the Dark” continues that evolution. It is at once intimate and expansive, polished yet deeply human.
The track features vocals from Junior Paez, whose delivery adds emotional texture to the lyrics. There’s a quiet honesty in lines like “Don’t you think you’re losing your mind again?” and “Hold on, I’ll take you a little higher tonight.” These words speak to the chaos we often feel inside, but instead of staying stuck there, the song encourages movement, connection, and hope. It is music that acknowledges the darkness but chooses to dance through it anyway.
The production is rich with shimmering arpeggiators, retro synth bass, and crisp electronic drums. It brings together nostalgia and futurism in a way that feels effortless. Imagine flickering neon lights, soft motion blur, and the kind of energy that makes you want to close your eyes and sway. It is cinematic but never overwhelming. Every layer serves the emotion at the heart of the track.
What makes “Dancing in the Dark” so appealing is how well it adapts to your mood. Whether you’re heading out for a solo night drive, setting the vibe for a weekend gathering, or simply lying on your bed in need of a reset, this song fits the moment. It never pushes too hard, but it always lands exactly where it needs to. There is something comforting about how sure of itself it feels.
CR Srikanth is not just making music for the sake of it. He is building emotional landscapes for listeners to get lost in and to find themselves again. With “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™,” he offers more than just a catchy tune. He gives us space to reflect, to feel seen, and to find joy in the act of simply moving forward. So press play, turn it up, and let yourself be lifted. This one’s for the heart, the soul, and the feet.
