Fasten your seatbelts, folks, as the soundscapes are changing, and we are moving straight into the orbit of Guyver7x3, an artist not only talented in making music but also in creating something that could be described as an emotional map, which allows him to boldly explore all those complicated and labyrinthine places in human nature that the rest of us even lack the words to describe. On the 1st of August, he presented us with his piece “Slowly Ready”, which can hardly be described as a song but rather as an inner message coming straight from his soul. Let’s reveal the veil!
The song starts off like a movie scene that descends into the neon-lit shadows in a captivating, dark synth-pop tune that instantly takes hold of your heartbeats. And then, just as the mesmerizing bassline takes hold of the beat, the voice kicks in – and what a vocal performance it is! The amazing play between the high notes and the lows that seem to come right from the soul adds a dynamic and breathing sense of vulnerability to the performance. This captivating intro not only sets the tone – it is proof beyond doubt that you are in for something special right from the get-go.
This is what “Slowly Ready” stands for in its entirety – it is an anthem created especially for that unique and vulnerable time when your listeners start realizing that not having the full picture of your journey drawn doesn’t prevent them from knowing they are going somewhere. Guyver7x3 manages to convey that special state of being suspended between utter uncertainty and slow transformation that comes with making every single step and taking action despite the lack of clarity regarding how things will unfold. It is the period when you are still questioning your decisions, analyzing every little move, but when you look down, you discover that you are already moving forward despite all these questions. There is no longer any standing in place, and this is an achievement itself. There is nothing more difficult than life that keeps playing dirty tricks on us, messing up the plans that take so much time and effort to make, but the real strength lies in the fact that we are not letting all these obstacles stop us from going anywhere. This piece of music accepts the chaos of human existence and whispers that feeling confused, lost, and overwhelmed by everything is completely alright, but the challenge that comes in this dark, thumping synth-pop package is crucial for all of us – it reminds us of the mission to go on despite the mess.
We shall now address the issue of how amazing his production is, since Guyver7x3 exists on an entirely different plane than the rest of the competition. His sonics are not limited by the restrictions of any predetermined genre but are rather entirely constructed based on emotional dynamics. In one track, he might be working with the shadowy atmosphere of alternative R&B, transitioning to the majestic soundscape of pop cinema, building up with heavy electronic pressure, moving into spoken cognition, breaking into distorted rock, or anything else. Yet, he makes it seamless, since he doesn’t create music just for the sake of following any trend. Every single production choice, every single waveform and frequency, is calculated by his emotional reaction, whether it is resistance, a break, a memory, a dissociation, a survival instinct, or an attempt to move forward no matter what. Guyver7x3 believes that true vulnerability doesn’t have to be diluted or simplified for people to understand it. He strips away any rigid, confined biographical information and creates a work in which listeners can instantly feel the fierce, pulsing emotional connection in it all. A song may be based on something very personal, yet he composes it with enough artistry and skill that he gives us plenty of room to inhabit our own version of it. This is bold, boundary-pushing art in its purest form.
The artistry of Guyver7x3 lies deep within the trenching depths of the human experience. It is about themes such as abandonment, self-discovery, memory, surviving emotionally, broken relationships, internal conflicts, and the excruciatingly beautiful act of becoming visible to oneself. The song “Slowly Ready” is an illustration of that particular gift. He doesn’t treat pain as something superficial, or as a trend that can be exploited in order to make a quick buck. Instead, he creates these expansive emotional worlds where one gets to spend time with the weight of emotions and learn about them. There is a very valuable, hard-fought lesson in it which everyone needs to internalize and remember that healing isn’t always linear and grace can be found in the struggle. I am absolutely mesmerized by his art and cannot wait to hear more from him in the future.
