J-Priori - Power
With a funky beginning, Power can only be described as loud and fun. Although on the shorter side, just shy of two minutes, James Fiori, AKA J-Priori, packs a punch with this track. The track disorients you in the best way with interesting melodic progressions and beats. Part of a 12-track project, this song stands out as the most experimental on an already genre-defying album. The funky start and the guitar-solo inspired part definitely sound like an homage to the artist's rock influences. And the complete change to the sound at the end is wonderfully jarring. The 8-bit game-like synth that comes in brings a childlike nostalgia to the song. Dramatic and electronic, this song sounds like it would be perfect as the intro to an anime series. Or even a fight scene where the hero shows off his strengths. The funky sound, along with the arcade synths, which add to the fun, would keep the scene lighthearted. I can imagine the main character quipping sarcastically while busting out his moves or powers. It would be a fan-favourite scene among the viewers, definitely because of the track enhancing the scene perfectly. This song embraces its chaos and energises us with how wild and carefree it is. The rhythms are surprising and eclectic, which is refreshing to listen to. It doesn't allow us space to feel like it repeats at any point. J-Priori definitely knows how to entertain and keep us on our toes as listeners, and I, for one, am definitely paying attention.
