Welcome to BuzzMusic, Angelo Sole, and a big congratulations on your new single “I wanna go home.” Can you shed a little bit of light on your inspiration behind the track?
This song started out as me making a "generic" beat but turned into something way more. I think as artists one of the hardest things to do is knowing when there is too much of something and this song was a real exercise in simplicity for me. I think I deal with a lot of ideas of exclusion and how my mental illnesses can very much affect how my world is shaped in this song. I have always felt very out of place in social situations, and because of this, I found it comforting to think up a fictional story where I am able to have a definitive reason why I don't fit in. In the case of this song, it is because I'm not really from this planet and in fact, there is a different world full of people who are a "little more like me". This song at its core is just about a lonely emo alien stuck on earth praying to get home.
Your lyrics definitely exude themes of loneliness and sorrow, and we want to thank you for inviting us in on that experience. Was it tough to tap into such personal and vulnerable feelings while writing?
I think for me lyrics are always just a stream of consciousness. I feel like I'm not good at dissecting words and looking at how different syllables sound, I just write exactly what I'm thinking at the moment so hopefully by writing my lyrics in this way I am able to be vulnerable with my music.
We really are captivated by the production behind your lyrics in “I wanna go homeee”. What was the process like in creating this track? Did you have a vision in mind for the production when you began recording? Did anyone help you bring this vision to life?
Usually, when recording songs I love to put as much distortion and crazy effects and filters on my voice as possible, simply because I think it sounds really cool. Now I like to sing a lot and usually when I show people my music they are like, "why are you hiding your voice behind so many layers of effects your voice is nice". I don't like how my voice sounds with fewer effects, but with this song, I wanted to try to maintain all the character of my natural voice so that I can take into account what people are saying about my music and keep my original vocal production methods. So the vocal production in this track was a compromise between what I want and what others seem to want from me. I record everything in my room and I produce all my tracks independently so I hope that I am able to stay authentic to what I want to, while also taking my listener's opinions into consideration.
Did you have a specific idea in mind of you who hoped this song would resonate with the most? What do you hope listeners will take away from this song while listening?
I don't think I ever write with the intention of writing a song for someone else. I can't really make art thinking that someone will like it, I make art because I want someone to have it. So I don't think I had any vision of who will like this song or who can relate to this song, I'm just more hoping to be screaming out into the void my feelings and demons, and hopefully along the way some people can resonate with it.
What's next for you?
I just released a new collaboration with Russian Hyperpop Star, Lil, Ru called "I Don't Mind You". That's pretty new, but I don't really know what's "next" for me. The most I can do is just make music every day and hopefully, that takes me somewhere!!
