Based in New York Chenzo V's new hit song "Midnight" is the moment right after the storm, when you finally let go of the breath you didn't know you were holding. The multidisciplinary artist who can turn feelings into atmosphere gives us a song that is personal, unsettling, and beautifully cathartic.
The song has a distorted synth bassline and punchy electronic drums that give it an industrial alt-rock base that is both cold and very human. His voice is hoarse, somber, and measured, giving the impression that he is speaking to himself rather than to another person. That's what renders "Midnight" so compelling. "Midnight" has room for thought, with sharp electronic sounds that echo the tension inside. The minor-key progression conveys the mood a sense of being in a liminal space, somewhere between sadness and clarity, and between grief and rebirth.
"Midnight" shows the moment when you stop waiting for other people to tell you you're worthy enough and start choosing yourself instead. It's the sound of silence inside turning into freedom. With this release, Chenzo V keeps making his lane, where alternative rock, electronic tension, and emotional depth all come together. "Midnight" is scary, movie-like, and difficult to forget.
