An inventive new track from Texas-based artist Noya Blue, “Like I’m Dy8ng” touts hypnotic vocal mixing in leading a memorable aesthetic. The evolution from minimalist percussion and vocal front to multi-layered warmness, a bit after the 30-second mark, plays with ghostly intrigue. “It feels like I’m dying / This world is unfair,” lyrics relay relatable sentiments, the multi-layered vocal croon adding emotively. The doo-woppy feel around 01:30 plays nicely as a bridge, as bass-y effect creeps forward. A spoken-word vocal lead in the final one-third also enchants. The track exudes a strong, hypnotic pull throughout with aesthetic creativity on full display.
