Anonymous digital artist and songwriter OWBY has made his much-anticipated return with his latest single, ‘Closer’.
Bringing a soundscape which captures elements of electronic music, pop and choral, gospel undertones, the new single ‘Closer’ showcases a rich depth in musicality. Moving between the melodic, cinematic first chorus, gradually introducing a driving four to the floor beat, the track captures a sense of melancholic emotion and commercial appeal.
‘Closer’ is imagined as a musical sequel to ‘BREATH’ by The Blaze, continuing the emotional journey of lovers navigating uncertainty while searching for meaning that is discussed in the original. The song’s uplifting message centers on perseverance, suggesting that through time, healing is possible, and a brighter future can emerge. Featuring a signature beat and intricate plucks reminiscent of The Blaze’s style, OWBY weaves his own unique elements into the track, incorporating Gospel-inspired harmonies that elevate the song to an anthem for the aftermath of personal storms.
