The track sees the artist looking to come to terms with grief and struggle in sobering fashion.
On his captivating and powerful new release ‘Breakdown’, rising Portuguese artist J.MYSTERY explores mental health and the need to externalise and be open about our emotions in vulnerable and earnest fashion, making for a sound that feels all-encompassing and towering musically while having this intimacy and sense of endearing rawness in its lyrics.
The catalyst for the track was the untimely passing of the artist’s younger brother at age 32, with the artist finding that the healthiest way to try to cope with such a loss was to completely give in to his feelings and emotions and in order to find some kind of clarity and perspective. This truly powerful message, when melded with his impactful presence as an artist and unique approach to songwriting, makes for a release that feels affecting and memorable for a litany of reasons. ‘Breakdown’ is a track that will linger to you for long after your listen, haunting, beautiful and emotionally stirring in a way that few are capable of.
