Manila-based L!FE shows us the long game on ‘Mood’

Posted on 28 January 2022

On a self-made catchy beat that leads us into the mindset of a musician who values his creative output, L!FE knows that he needs to keep busy but feels that sometimes he is not always in the ‘Mood‘.

L!FE is a Manila, Philippines-based indie hip-hop artist/bassist, and music producer who makes all his own tracks from the comfort of his studio bedroom.

”His music mostly comprises of sample-based melodies with old school hip hop drums funky bass lines and a lower registered voice when singing and rapping.” ~ L!FE

In a world where so many people bleat on about how many songs a musician needs to make each year, L!FE directs us into his life as he shows us a relatable message out knowing that the long-term game is where he is headed. This is an artist who would rather take his time and make classic gems, instead of assembling average music than might dehydrate his heart.

‘Mood‘ from Manila, Philippines-based indie hip-hop artist and music producer L!FE is an insightful track all about the life of an artist who is perhaps not feeling the creative juices flow into his body today. He guides us into his mind as he wonders why some people just don’t get it – as he slides his headphones on – to get into his zone again to block out anything negative that could ruin his day.

”I started making music in May of 2021 with no prior experience in music at all, and do my own songwriting, mixing and recording (in my bedroom). Other than producing beats, I do all of my own music production, and hope to learn beat-making eventually (so I can make fully independent songs).” ~ Ajarr

Ajarr bestows us his promising talents with a super track that takes you to a place you have thought about too many times, as your consciousness starts to tip over and you feel like you are in a different atmosphere.

‘Psycho‘ from the youthful alt-trap/hyperdrill bedroom solo artist Pennsylvania-based artist Ajarr, is a tight-roped track all about questioning where you are actually going to end up next in your over-stimulated mind that needs some yoga to get back to your much-needed zen. On a sizzling beat that keeps us all thoroughly entertained the whole way through, this is a warning to all those out there – that have been feeling like they are the only ones going a bit dizzy – from all the strangeness that has been going on in the world over the past two years. Keeping that valuable mind sane, is the only way to survive the apocalypse.
