Rising electronic luminary Maria Chiara Argirò is sharing the second single, titled ‘Light’ from her highly-anticipated album Closer due 26 April via US label Innovative Leisure (BADBADNOTGOOD, Nosaj Thing, Classixx, JIMMY EDGAR).
This album is a testament to Maria’s journey of self-exploration and a manifestation of her profound connection with music. It is rooted in an indescribable feeling that compelled her to create. The album transcends boundaries and traverses the spectrum of electronic music with unparalleled depth and clarity.
The artist shares, “It is about a feeling, a dreamlike feeling in motion, a feeling that we cannot describe, a dream I’m sort of walking through. Emotions/dreams/feelings that sometimes you can just imagine, a dreamlike world where we walk through to get to the core of ourselves a bit more, even if things are completely undefined and blurry. While working on the music there was this strong feeling – at times blurry and at times more defined – of getting, with every single note, closer and closer to the person I want to be. Free. Curious and consequently Aware, Connected and Closer to the people I love. There is so much noise in this world, I think being direct, gentle, light, open and connected is the key.”
Finding clarity and sharpened definitions between blurred lines and dreamlike worlds is the core duality and dichotomy that underpins Closer. Not only is this reflected in the philosophy that drove Argirò’s creative approach but it results in a genre-fluid record that gracefully blends engulfing atmospheres, glistening synths, and pummelling beats; creating a space where melody and deconstructed rhythm harmoniously coexist.
