Phoenix/Chicago Legend MAMBA. is back with another track. His newest release “Guiding Me On” features Monika Santucci and blends numerous styles and genres together. The song starts out with an metalcore guitar riff and Monika Santucci‘s soaring vocals. An EDM beat can be heard in the background as the drums break the door down. Bouncing between full-bodied drum hits and clap effects. The riff becomes more melodic as the track evolves. Soft keyboard notes enter the frame right before the buildup to the first drop. The drum rhythm builds along with velvet synth bars to heighten the anticipation of the first drop. This first drop is a multi-layered EDM wonderscape with popping drums and subtle bass revs. Sharp spiral effects bring the listener back to the melodic riff and beautiful vocals. The keyboard notes briefly take center stage, with echoing vocals to match. This bridge guides the listener into the next chorus and drop buildup. This second drop changes the tone and tempo of the song before it fades out.
The tragic and unexpected passing of MAMBA.’s mother has had a great impact on his life and artistic trajectory. Her memory lives on in every set that he performs and every track that he produces. “Guiding Me On” is a goose-bump inducing track that is a testament to the fact that she is always in his heart. A beautiful tribute to his biggest inspiration. Monika Santucci’s vocals express the lyrics beautifully and capture this emotional journey. The production shows MAMBA.’s ability to do it all. He is able to craft heavy-hitters and heartfelt tributes like “Guiding Me On” with passion and precision. MAMBA. is a rising star with a consistent discography that you should definitely check out.
