Some of the best music and most original art emerges from unlikely sources of inspiration. For LA-based producer and Icon Collective student L’homie, his newest release titled ‘Sting Of The Scorpion’s Tail’ comes straight from one of his favourite TV shows, Into the Badlands. “The show tells the story of a boy who travels through this post-apocalyptic world trying to find enlightenment. It also has some of the best martial arts I’ve ever seen in a TV series. To me, it was the perfect combination of old world meets new world and that’s exactly what I wanted to capture in this song.”
L’homie’s repertoire of music is short yet impressive, displaying a versatile catalog of experimental bass and trap-infused beats, while also dabbling in softer, R&B ballads. In ‘Sting Of The Scorpion’s Tail,’ the talented artist continues to display his strengths as an up-and-comer, giving the track a minimal essence while keeping listeners engaged with peaks and troughs of dark, supernatural energy.
The first half of the track is eerie and ominous, focusing on gritty sound design and wonky basses, while the latter half is more melodic with undertones of euphoria driving the sonic experience. “With the storyline in mind, I knew I wanted the structure of the track to emulate that. I knew I wanted to make the first drop sound like the listener was about to go up against the final boss, in which after defeating it – goes down a path to achieve full enlightenment which the second drop is meant to represent,” L’homie tells us about the arrangement of this latest. If this unusual inspiration is the product of L’homie’s upcoming releases, the future looks bright for him. Don’t miss the enthralling ‘Sting Of The Scorpion’s Tail’ below!
