South Bend, Indiana artist Gxldsoulrebel has dropped off a fresh single, titled “Known Stranger”, produced by Yung Elder. Taking on a spiritual tone backed by refreshing sonics, Gxldsoulrebel delivers poetic lines entrenched with wisdom and wistfulness that give “Known Stranger” its own character.
Listening to the aptly-titled song feels like re-uniting with an old friend- or perhaps a meeting with a stranger that you intuitively feel you have always known. It’s immersive warmth and relaxed, cosmic production reflect this motif, while the chorus solidifies it with its references to campfires and sharing stories. Gxldsoulrebel and Yung Elder manage to do something truly refreshing with “Known Stranger”, a track that strips back frills and pretenses to examine our basic nature, storytelling, and methods of communication and connection.
Give “Known Stranger” a listen below now.
