From the first note, this song captivated me and didn’t let go. “Traffic” is a masterful blend of pop rock and indie influences and is a standout track for those looking for a new voice in music. This is a gentle, yet powerful song about the push to break free from stagnation in life and emotion. Starting with light, breezy verses, it builds into a tribal driven soundscape and then into a psychedelic and intense chorus. It’s a two sided journey that feels both uplifting and bold, leaving a lasting impression.
The production and mixing are top notch and allow the beautifully written lyrics to shine alongside the rich vocal melodies. Zarooni’s performance is captivating, his soulful voice delivering each word with heartfelt sincerity. The instrumentation is well crafted, supporting the vocals well and creating a unique atmosphere that is catchy and memorable. Zarooni draws inspiration from his Emirati and British heritage, creating music that is a blend of indie vibes, electronic beats and subtle country twang. This new single is a story that shows his storytelling talent and gives listeners a real and deeply emotional experience.
I found this song to be a lovely discovery, honestly. The intricate soundscape and meaningful lyrics kept me hooked until the very last second. I can’t wait to see how Zarooni’s promising career unfolds in the months to come.
