AVATARI
Off the back of his last single, ‘Fighter’, a powerful rock anthem that was hailed for its raw power and relatable story, AVATARI is back with another electrifying single to please fans and newcomers alike. AVATARI is not your typical indie rock frontman. He’s a talented musician who sees himself as the avatar of rock itself: a physical manifestation of a deity in our material realm, using the power of music to bring freedom and unity to a realm filled with darkness.
AVATARI’s flamboyancy is on full display in his latest project: fierce single ‘Bad Things With You‘. Not afraid to experiment, AVATARI retains rock as the base of his sound, but then incorporates elements of pop, electronica, and even funk on the track. Playing with different genres means the track’s accessible to a wider audience while it seeks to break free from the constraints of traditional rock music. This versatility not only showcases AVATARI’s artistic range but also demonstrates his desire to push the boundaries of contemporary rock music.
“On its surface, this is a song just about sex. Carnal desire. In the long line of great songs on the topic – ‘Closer’ (NIN); ‘Pour Some Sugar On Me’; pretty much any song by Prince or Marvin Gaye,” AVATARI says of the track.
In ‘Bad Things With You’, lust and passion are intertwined with a playful melody, challenging listeners to throw away their inhibitions and set their minds free. We’re invited to take part in a journey of self-discovery and transformation, where the only guide is one’s own imagination. AVATARI’s lyrics are a reflection of the human experience, reflecting an imagined world in which we surrender ourselves to our innermost desires.
Infused with buoyant rhythms, bouncy guitar riffs, and catchy hooks, the melody for ‘Bad Things…’ creates an infectious and lighthearted atmosphere. The playful use of syncopation and unexpected chord progressions invite listeners to let loose and indulge in the carefree joy of the music.
“Underneath, this song is about not just tearing off your clothes but your inhibitions. Those most annoying things that keep us from expressing our true selves. What if we could shed them like a snake shedding its skin? And think, say, and do exactly what we wanted to?”
