The Australian hip-hop artist Munzer is back with his new single “Cold Stone” with R&B nuanced trap ballad which penetrates into the severe heartbreak. The song, which was created by Bullzeye Beats, brings in the cold silence that remains behind, when love falls and instead of warm intimacy, there is something hard and unbecoming to touch.
The intentions of “Cold Stone” are obvious at the outset. The rhythm goes with heavy basslines 808, with ambient tones of bells glimmering in the background and this makes the song sound haunting and icy. Autotuned vocals over the top and the production form a modern, but vulnerable sound tier that is both rough and smooth.
Munzer transforms his own separation into a universal confession, which is also a lyrical act. He does not sing at all, but to all who have poured their all into the heart and then to find themselves shattered. In this respect, Cold Stone is more than a heartbreak journal, it is a monument to strength, and to the silent power of coping with the feelings of emotion shattering.
The reason why the song is such a strong one is its simplicity and richness. Bullzeye Beats maintains the production minimal enough to allow the emotion to shine through Munzer, but incorporates enough trap elements to make the song undoubtedly contemporary. The outcome is music that seems like a jamming session but with the burden of premeditated narration.
The performance of Munzer is restrained and emotional. Every word comes with intent and pulls the audience into his loss and contemplation realm. The song has a global appeal even though it was created due to personal heartbreak, everyone who experienced the cold silence of a breakup will be able to feel the truth of the track.
In “Cold Stone” Munzer ventures into unexplored elements of both emotion and sound, and comes up with a song that is chilling, yet heartfelt. Such music of heartbreak is honest music.
