Savior “Paralysed”

The dance of lust and love is a dangerous one, where temptation, heartbreak, pain, passion and love twirl into a whirlwind. It keeps on spinning, trapping you inside. Inspired by the time when Savior first moved to London, looking for love in all the wrong places, his third single “Paralysed” explores a darker tone while even deeper into his sensuous, danceable electronic pop phantom.

Fierce beats and monstrous bass paints an unescapable nocturnal charm. Soft, flaming gasp in the background draws you into that sweaty, sensational scene of passion and love. The combination of spoken and sung words experiments different aspects of sonic narration. Savior’s immersive and non-linear storytelling provides listeners a unique experience in which all their senses and feelings are being highlighted.

Savior also excels at creating vivid imageries with his music. “Paralysed” seems to be testing the limits of just how much a song could convey a deeply personal experience. Like a mini film that explodes in your ears, journeying through various scenes in which the loneliness, desires, and hurt are all being exposed fully, “Paralysed” is able to do all that under 4 minutes.

Vulnerability here is explored through a synthaesthetic lens. It beats and breathes into your ears, all the emotions that exist in this experience, but the music itself isn’t isolated. Through Savior’s darkly satisfying, almost palpable sonic palettes, the track powerfully tells a story that so many could easily relate to.
