Gallant Tries Desperately To Win His Woman Over In The Heartfelt ‘Comeback’ Video

The singer pulls heavily from early ’00s R&B as inspiration for the slow-burning single. …

Gallant released his sophomore album, Sweet Insomnia, in 2019 to critical acclaim and now, the singer is returning to usher in a new era of music. Sharing his first single of 2021, Gallant teases his forthcoming EP Neptune with a video alongside the swooning single “Comeback.”

Drawing from R&B’s heyday in the early aughts, Gallant croons his heartfelt verses over a sparking beat. The video that accompanies the single is directed by Bennett Johnson and depicts the singer pulling out all of his best moves to try to win over his woman. After she rejects his call, he begins showing up everywhere from her TV’s infomercials to her car’s dashboard bobblehead to remind her of his worth.

Speaking about his inspiration behind the single, Gallant said the lyrics were compiled from his late-night thoughts:

“I put the lyrics of ‘Comeback’ together from pages of notes I had typed up late at night and saved on my computer (and didn’t really want anyone else to read). I was having some trouble finding a spark of inspiration and at the same time, I had these small bits and pieces of early 2000s R&B floating around in my head that I could never really turn into any good ideas. When I finally locked myself in a room and told myself I couldn’t leave until I made something, I looked at all these pieces in front of me and felt like, in a weird way, they might be able to complement each other. Eventually they turned into this song full of nostalgia and longing, where you feel like you’ve been there before and are desperately trying to get back.”

Dominique Xishak questions the search for love and money on latest release “Delusional”

Dominique Xishak

Dominique Xishak takes a confrontational approach to modern relationship expectations with “Delusional”, a rap track that questions what some people demand from a partner and what they bring to a relationship themselves. The song focuses on the perceived gap between wanting an ideal man and being willing to offer the same level of commitment, honesty, and personal responsibility. Rather than approaching romance with a soft touch, Xishak uses a direct lyrical perspective to challenge these expectations.

The track raises questions about appearances, personal choices, and the motivations behind seeking a partner. Its subject matter includes cosmetic surgery, the pressure to meet certain physical ideals, and the possibility that financial status can become more important than genuine connection. Xishak also addresses the tension between demanding a good partner and overlooking the qualities that make a healthy relationship possible. These themes give the song a provocative edge and invite listeners to consider the standards they set for themselves and others.

“Delusional“ positions Dominique Xishak as a voice willing to tackle uncomfortable conversations about dating, attraction, and relationship priorities. The message is deliberately challenging, encouraging debate about whether people are truly searching for meaningful partnerships or pursuing an ideal shaped by appearances and money. It is a track designed to provoke reactions and get listeners talking.

Shadowspell invites listeners into a world of fear and defiance on latest release “CYANIDE”

Shadowspell

Shadowspell’s latest hard-hitting single, “CYANIDE,” explores disturbing thoughts, fear, and the struggle with sanity, pulling listeners into a disquieting world of inner darkness. Big drums and guitars drive the song, creating a powerful atmosphere for its troubled emotional landscape. Its central thesis is chillingly provocative, darkness is no longer in the past, but has settled in.

The song’s lyrics drop the listener into a mind where scary voices are a strange kind of survival, and nowhere else seems safe. Shadowspell doesn’t push fear away; it brings it to the front and center, inviting listeners to face the unsettling thoughts and feelings at the song’s heart. The lush instrumentation gives this tension a gritty edge that suits the song’s defiant spirit.

If you enjoy exploring darker musical territories, CYANIDE delivers a heavy, intense listening experience that blends heavy drums, powerful guitars, and psychologically charged themes. Shadowspell embraces awkwardness, not smoothing it over, and makes a track that sounds raw, confrontational, and unashamedly uncomfortable. The result is a record that exposes inner turmoil and demands that the listener confront the shadows instead of simply turning away.
