Hashemi ©️ 2024
As a Los Angeles-based singer and songwriter, Hashemi crafts a unique blend of dark California Pop, reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac meets disco. Her new release, "Kaleidoscopes," from her EP “Swimming At Night”, delves into the complexities and blurred lines of a "situationship."
The track opens with a catchy verse that immediately sets the tone of the song's theme — the push and pull of a complicated relationship.
Hashemi's lyrical vulnerability shines through lines like "Should have ended it and cut you off / Don’t wanna slip and fall in love," painting a vivid picture of emotional conflict.
The pre-chorus builds tension beautifully, with Hashemi's vocals delivering raw emotion: "You give me too much attention / and you use it like a weapon."
This seamlessly transitions into a chorus that's both catchy and poignant, capturing the essence of feeling entrapped yet hopeful: "You make me crazy like kaleidoscopes / Blurrin' my vision, lead me on with invisible rope."
Musically, "Kaleidoscopes" is a perfect blend of nostalgic and contemporary sounds, with a production that complements Hashemi's vocal style.
The disco influence adds an infectious groove, making it a track that's easy to get lost in.
Overall, Hashemi's "Kaleidoscopes" is a beautifully crafted addition to her discography, showcasing her talent for blending introspective lyrics with engaging melodies.
It's a song that resonates with the confusion and allure of modern relationships, making it a must-listen for fans of alternative pop.
