There are musicians who can’t be placed in the genres that dominate the music industry. Such is the case with “Listen,” an aural adventure that defies categorization, and its mysterious inventor.
Simply going by the moniker “Alternative,” the musician uses broad brushstrokes to create a sonic collage that draws from Pop, Hip Hop, Rap, and Experimental music. “Listen” is more than just music; it’s an adventure into unexplored sonic land.
The song “Alternative” defies expectations by not identifying the artist, encouraging the listener to focus on the music itself rather than any assumptions made about it. The lyrics provide an intimate look into the mind of the artist as he or she contemplates the intricacies of life.
Despite its unidentified origin, “Alternative” serves as a poignant reminder that music is, at its heart, a universal language that can be understood by everyone, anywhere. To properly feel the power of music, one must abandon the limits of genre, and that is exactly what “Listen” encourages.
