Nas Labels The Black Youth As The ‘Fallen Stars Flying’ On His New Single

The song will appear in HBO’s special event show, ‘Between The World And Me,’ and arrives after Nas’ ‘King’s Disease’ album. …

Nas’ 2020 has been a lot better than his recent years and it’s thanks in large part to his King’s Disease album, one that was executive produced by Hit-Boy. The album was much better than his past releases as it found the rapper doing a good job of navigating between his vintage raps and a more modernized sound. Since he released the album, the Brooklyn native has lent his voice to a couple of artists including Public Enemy and Statik Selektah for their respective “Fight The Power: Remix 2020” and “Keep It Moving” tracks. Adding another track to his 2020 resume, Nas brings his talents to the soundtrack of HBO’s Between The World And Me original with his “Fallen Stars Flying” track.

The song finds Nas in a very introspective state as he reflects on some of the losses he’s experienced in his life while heralding the Black youth as these “fallen stars flying.” The past memories he recalls can be heard in lines like, “I just talked with big homie up in federal court / He was double-crossed, nowadays staying real is a loss.” Dealing with these hardships in life often pushes him to react, but he knows going to dangerous extents isn’t always worth it. “I got the ‘K for them,” he raps. “But I refrain from doing shaitans work.” The song later closes with a quick story about how is “Black Girl Lost” track helped a young girl navigate through life, so much so that she got a tattoo of wings on her back.

“Bermuda Triangle” by Lexi Berg shares haunting echoes of feeling lost

Lexi Berg

Lexi Berg delivers yet another heart-stirring masterpiece with her latest single, “Bermuda Triangle,” a stunning emotional ballad that dives deep into the heart of feeling like an outsider. Born in Stockholm and raised on a houseboat, Lexi’s distinct upbringing gives her music an unorthodox yet deeply evocative edge. Following the success of her previous release, “Lonely Satellite,” this mesmerizing track showcases her evolution as an artist and storyteller.

Co-written with the acclaimed hitmakers Jim Eliot and Grammy-winning Jimmy Hogarth, “Bermuda Triangle” beautifully represents an artful exploration of what it means to feel adrift, yearning for connection in an increasingly isolating world yet unable to find it fully. The song commences with delicate classical piano melodies that establish a reflective ambiance, allowing Lexi’s haunting vocals to take center stage, laying the foundation for the intimate vulnerability that unfolds. As she sings, the audience feels lost in the whirlpools of her emotional core, capturing the feeling of being unseen and unheard while longing for acknowledgment and understanding amidst the chaos of life.

Each lyric gives the song an almost confessional atmosphere, as Lexi articulates internal struggles that can seem as vast and mysterious as the “Bermuda Triangle” itself.

The metaphoric use of space imagery conveys the profundity of her emotions, evoking a sense of floating in a void where feelings run deep, but words seem inadequate. The song’s powerful crescendo creates a magnetic moment of enchantment, leaving listeners both breathless and aching for more.

In the constantly spinning “Bermuda Triangle,” Lexi Berg taps into the rising swell of emotional alienation, crafting a ballad that resonates universally and lingers in the heart long after the final note. It’s a compelling reminder that sometimes, even in our loneliness, genuine isolation is not inevitable. Embracing the opportunity to immerse oneself in Lexi Berg’s enchanting world is an experience not to be missed.
