The first track “Murder in Red” acts as an introduction to set the tone of the album with a dark atmospheric repetitive melody that is played on multiple Lead Synths, each crossing over to the other, paving way to the very modern R&B sounding “Drowning in the Shadows”, inspired by The Weeknd and Chicago Acid House vibes, as the track starts as a very urban track which evolves into a 4/4 on the floor dance track.
The third track named “Stranger Things”, is inspired by the Netflix Original Show of the same name. It is a very brooding track that builds up with a powerful industrial vibe in the style of Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, transcending into a Chorus that features an Acoustic Guitar.
Following this track is “The Nights” which combines 80’s Electronica with Modern Pop, with a very lush and vintage warm mix. “Battleready” is the fifth track that is inspired by movies such as “Rocky” and “Thammudu”. It is positive sounding upbeat track which is influenced by Ramana Gogula’s “Travelling Soldier”.
The final track is “Nocturnal Animals” which is very modern sounding, inspired by Drake’s OVO Sound and Daft Punk. It combines Lo-Fi Synths and Trap Drums, and completes the adventure of the night time.
