Cinematic, dramatic, and full of satisfying harmonies, “Breathe” is a breath of fresh air (pun intended) in the dark pop landscape. Swelling basses, ticking percs, and pulsing synths support layers of soaring vocals. Written, recorded, and produced by the artist, the song speaks to the impatient, desperate yearning to contribute more to the world than a carbon footprint. It’s only human to want to live a meaningful life—right?
