“I AM A GOD” begins with digital splash effects, thumping drums, and a swinging techno bassline. Nostalgix is up first on vocal duty. Entering the frame to get things going right out of the gate. “Forget. Let go. Don’t fear. The unknown. Heaven. and hell. Don’t speak. I’ll tell. I AM A GOD!” As a spidery loop weaves an intricate auditory web within the track. With the drums and bass maintaining the heavy beat throughout. Clap effects bounce off of the rhythm section with ease as the arachnid-like synth keeps bumping. WHIPPED CREAM’s cerebral trademark vocals dance with intense sweep effects and bombastic, creeping drum fills. Nostalgix repeats the track’s title over subtle hi hats and revving synth bars. The hi hats morph into techno kicks and bass.
The spidery loop makes a grand return over a foundation of kicks and hi hats. Menacing walls of bass crash in and out. Compressing the other elements together and apart at will. The dark and menacing sound of the track is well accented by WHIPPED CREAM’s haunting ooooo’s. The subtlety of the vocals and large focus on instrumentation help make make this an epic journey through sound. There is even a bit of WHIPPED CREAM’s signature hip-hop bounce contained within the foundation of “I AM A GOD.” Truly combining the strengths of both artists with an added techno paint scheme. As a massive fan of both collaborating artists and techno, this is a dream collaboration that is sure to GO OFF in a live setting. The feminine and empowering nature of “I AM A GOD” really ups the hype and provides listeners with an inspired, self-assured sense of swag and confidence. A sense of confidence that both Nostalgix and WHIPPED CREAM have in SPADES. Thank you for reading and listening.
WHIPPED CREAM shares: “For me, this release is about diving into your highest self/feminine energy and flowing in it. Nostalgix is from Vancouver too, and although our music sonically sounds different, I have always been a huge fan of her energy and performances. I was very excited to get in the room with her. The first day we started this song it flowed together so well we were both high off the vibe we had created together. So stoked to drop this.”
Nostalgix adds: “‘I AM A GOD’ is about embracing your most fierce self. It’s standing in your highest power to go after what you want in life. No limitations, no fear, no doubts. Only confidence. Had such an amazing time making this record with WHIPPED CREAM. As two strong women in the dance music community, we’ve both had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get to where we are today. We’ve both had to tap into our power time after time to become the strongest versions of ourselves. This record truly felt like a song that needed to be made. I love it so much and can’t wait for you all to hear it.”
