“Whoosh” by MRXM is an inspiring combination of R&B and rap that exposes the duo’s talent and uniqueness in music. The song is characterized by rhythmic electronic beats and syncopated sweet-smelling melodies that make you get lost in the sound. Nevertheless, the deep thirsting drums pulse with commonly raw lines suggesting some degree of roughness or edge lurking at the back.
The blending of R&B and hip-hop is undeniable, new flavors swirling atop, the vocals confidently ride the instrumental. In fact, there is a twinkle of rebellion, a breath-taking boldness in these lyrics that I adore and yet, at the same, time a soulful voice, a cushioning sensation of a wonderful paint-brush, a different yet a flow of colors is gifted.
MRXM has been an integral part of the local music scene since 2018, when its composing members – Purpel J and Don Mars – came together to create something new and groundbreaking. With their latest single, they have once again brought a new dimension to music. With “Whoosh,” everything simply hits the right note, starting from the very first sound to when it finally stirs from the air.
It is part experimental hip-hop, part ASMR trance, but still fully sonically mesmerizing midtempo, which makes it outstanding and a pioneering track. MRXM throws heavy harmonized rhythms on top of the hypnotic lyricism, the result is a whole new revelation.
The composition of “Whoosh” is quite detailed but still full of sound while the instruments and effects that are used in turn enhance the mood of the song. In summary, “Whoosh” MRXM’ denotes a thrilling musical trip, which exceeds the confines of the R&B and hip-hop, and came as something entirely new and amazing.
