Evocative, intense and melancholic, ‘way out’ marks the return of Winnipeg-based creative Eagle Owl. Following up from ‘GODLESS’, ‘way out’ takes a similar path; a vibrant blend of alt-pop, R&B and hip-hop with a distinct focus on hazy textures and liminal beats, making for a cathartic and gloomy listening experience. Boasting a certain cinematic allure, the record features Eagle Owl’s nuanced and jagged vocals, together with contributor Jaydi Zavala’s luscious tone.
Yet, the real turning point in ‘way out’ is found in its lyricism. Personal and wholesome, the song wraps listeners into heartfelt and authentic imagery, with Eagle Owl evoking a painful past and problematic experiences. Seeking to break free from the shackles of his youth, the Canadian artist embodies transformative energy in artistic form, perhaps giving his music a rather ‘therapeutic’ mood. Overall, ‘way out’ is relatable and relevant, and we are confident it will resonate with a large audience out there.
Speaking more in-depth about the inspiration behind ‘Way Out’, Eagle Owl explains: “The core emotion behind the single is the feeling of wanting to break free, whether it’s from toxic cycles, expectations, or your own inner walls. I needed to create something that felt like an escape hatch for my own thoughts, basically wanting a way out.”
