Witnessing the evolution of an artist is one of our absolute favorite things as a platform. One name that has truly blossomed in front of our eyes these past few years has been Massachusetts’s own, Shöckface. Coming at us with an unrelentingly creative discography, Shöckface has built a unique sound over the past three years by combing elements of hip-hop and a myriad of sub-genres within electronic music. Recently, the young production wizard teamed up with an old friend and up-and-coming pop artist Lauren Martinez, for an eclectic flip of her record, ‘Superman’. Fittingly, this foreshadowed our topic of discussion for today. As Shöckface and LIHO team up with Lauren Martinez for true collaboration on their most recent single, ‘I’m afraid to be sober’.

Out the gate, we’re met with this hypnotizing piano melody which perfectly sets the stage for the entrance of Lauren Martinez’s soulful vocals. Throughout the first verse, we’re met with various production elements that make the presence of Shöckface and LIHO known. From the insane sound design behind the vocals to the sporadic dog bark samples, this section is the perfect bridge to the second half of the record. From there, Shöckface and LIHO take over with the percussion and these insane lead basses begin to drive the record forward. Make sure to stream the whole thing down below!

Coming off his massive VIP of ‘3001‘ with the legendary DJ Ride, eclectic electronic producer Shöckface is showing no signs of slowing down. Release after release haa provided us with immaculate soundscapes that have such a life of their own, they seem to exist in their own universe. Shöckface is the epitome of what is possible when you abandon the concepts of genres and prioritize musical expression over everything. Nothing showcases this attribute more than Shöckface’s most recent release. His flip of Lauren Martinez’s ‘Superman’ takes a beautiful alt-pop ballad and turns it into an ethereal electronic experience.

Right out the gate, Lauren Martinez’s soulful vocals are combined with these lurking risers, which become the foundation of the tone and energy of the track. Soon after these risers are joined by some percussive elements before being thrown into a suspenseful build section. As Lauren’s vocals reach a climax, we’re thrown into a bass-heavy soundscape full of short yet aggressive lead synths and pounding percussion. As quickly as we started, we are guiding back down by Lauren Martinez’s angelic vocals before reaching the end of our journey. Make sure to check out the whole track down below!
