Multi-talented rapper/songwriter Maddox‘s newest project The Song of the Sands is a 15-track body of work that sees the rapper venturing into new musical territory.
The project opens with a soul-stirring intro “Don’t Look Back” comprising solemn piano riffs, and sparse trap drums and sees the rapper set the tone with a reflective tone. He takes the best foot forward and shows his dedication to taking risks, leaving the past behind and moving on. The track has a deeply contemplative feel while Maddox’s expressive flow and candid lyrics take center stage. This is followed by “Fade Away II,” a soothing soulful piece that dives into struggles, and the never-ending cycle of internal trauma. Once again, Maddox pours his all on wax and shows listeners raw vulnerability. The project continues in the personal and intimate space with ” Runaway” diving into the concept of regret and the difficulties of confronting past mistakes. Over an atmospheric and ethereal soundscape, Maddox takes listeners deep into the crevices of his mind and faces his deepest fears. Maddox knows when to switch things up like the melodic aesthetic of “From The Flame” where he delivers a fiery pair of verses threaded by rich hypnotic melodic hooks.
Other notable tracks include “The Rain,” “Out In The Sand” and “Daytona” as each track showcases different sides to his artistry and a glimpse into his experiences and things that make him tick.
