As far as debuts are concerned, Hobday’s going down as an impressive one. The upcoming artist has recently dropped his first single “Empathy” and has received some hype since then. Straight to the top of the playlist for a late-night chill vibe with heavy bass rhythms and dreamlike, soulful, oriental delicacy “Empathy”kicks in with every drop of escapism required to drown out the weight of the world.
Structurally brilliant for its juxtaposed intensity and melodic, tribal moments, the new single from Hobday lays bare a thoughtful, captivating way with contemporary production and sound design. At its core, the release offers the pounding rhythm and enveloping repetitions of any great electronic track. Surrounding this though, are multiple layers of further appeal and intention – vocal melodies, synths, lighter beats, a profound sense of rising anticipation and a stunning drop back into power and movement.
Hobday, who is from Minneapolis, Minnesota, has mastered both singing and songwriting with equal dexterity. In “Empathy,” he has conveyed his deepest thoughts and feelings. The song is a great escape from reality’s sadness into a tranquil and pleasant paradise of pleasant memories. His peaceful voice approach heightens the impact of the thought-provoking poetic imagery. His remarkable storytelling talent has assisted him in connecting with the audience.
