In the immortal words of Oscar Wilde, "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth." There lies an enigma at the intersection of punk brashness and hip-hop's audacious revelations - and his name is Wesley Black. Venturing from the alluring depths of Boorloo/Perth, Black unveils his masterpiece, the 'Everything Will crash And Burn' EP, a subversive tour de force encapsulating the riotous spirit of multiple genres.
Famously or infamously, depending on your aural palate, Wesley Black doesn't just toe the line; he draws his own. The intricacy of his craft materializes when genres like alternative rock, punk, pop, and a subtle hip-hop sprinkle are woven into a tapestry of poignant stories. In a musical realm that often regurgitates the tried-and-true, Black's audacious artistry is the splash of cold water to our collective face, a wake-up call to embrace the unpredictable.
“Everything Will crash And Burn” opens its sonic diary with the explosive “Ready2Go”, a genre-blending anthem echoing with an electrifying verve. It's as if Black, a master alchemist, blended the essence of punk's unyielding spirit with hip-hop's rhythmic beats and spat out an explosive concoction. It beckons us to grapple with our realities, challenging us to face the existential precipice with both grace and gumption.
Moving with the intoxicating swagger of a rogue wave, “Ur Not My Mum” crashes into our senses next. Harnessing surf-rock-punk's tidal energy, paired with stinging raps and a breakbeat that simply refuses to be tamed, Black ignites a bonfire of identity, ego, and raw desire. The audacious duality of vulnerability and bluster hints at the complexities of the human spirit, urging us to peel back the layers.
Bringing the trifecta to a close is “I Guess That’s Me”, a track that thrums with both recklessness and introspection. The rough edges of distorted guitars and biting vocals pose a philosophical question about self and the journey to authenticity. In Black's captivating narrative, he lays bare the tenuous dance between hubris and humility.
Plumbing the depths of ego, confronting the brevity of life, and the juxtaposition of vibrant life with inevitable decline, Black muses, "This EP is a project for the moment, as in the end - everything will crash and burn if I don’t take control of it." And so, in a world of ephemeral thrills, Wesley Black's “Everything Will crash And Burn“ stands as a phoenix, reminding us of life's impermanence and the indelible marks we leave behind.
On that incendiary note, get ready to be submerged with all kind of emotions. For, as the world spins in its unpredictable dance, 'Everything Will crash And Burn' will be the soundtrack playing in the background, available across all major music platforms. Dive in, and let Wesley Black's musical pyrotechnics ignite your soul. Stream above.
