Propped up by XY GALA’s haunting, evocative artistry, ‘The Algorithm’ is the latest effort of the talented London-based songwriter and producer. In it, we find a lyrical and aural universe that’s haunting and melancholic, a space filled with gloomy tones and prophetic vocals, a space that’s hard to resist. Engulfing listeners into personal and introspective storytelling, XY GALA takes us on a rather unapologetic lyrical journey, one that’s deeply tied to Gala’s artistic endeavours.
As he eloquently explains, “I wrote this while feeling invisible. Like nothing I made mattered unless it fit a trend, hit a metric, or made a machine think it was ‘worthy’. This track is me reclaiming that worth. It’s not designed for an algorithm. It’s designed for you. For all the underdogs.” Strong words that we are confident will resonate with a great number of listeners out there.
From a sonic standpoint, ‘The Algorithm’ flourishes on a charming blend of electronic-pop and cinematic elements, all drenched in a sort of aural mystery that’s ever hypnotic and cathartic. The ethos behind it is truly authentic, with XY GALA not trying to pursue trends or a proven formula, instead channelling his deepest thoughts into a hard-hitting slice of musical euphoria.
