Al Kenizo's "Don't Lock Me Out": A Journey of Heartfelt Humans, Lyrical and Atmospheric
Al Kenizo, an Australian artist based in Randwick, makes music flow outside any definable genre. His latest, "Don't Lock Me Out," exists in the realm of raw introspection infused with longing, vulnerability, and personal transformation. Usual apparent mainstream electronic scenes have trickled away from this, as Kenizo's music is more on the side of the atmospheric, immersing world of Rollo Armstrong (Faithless) than the simple heavy beats of David Guetta.
Through its lush, multicolored production, "Don't Lock Me Out" transports listeners into its hypnotic sonic world. Emotions apparently emerge from Kenizo during the process of poignant healing. He has actually stated that his work was born during that period of deep reflection. All that leads to an understanding that the song works through this feeling, haunted yet exhilarating, to the point that it is not just another electronic production but the exploration of pain with some resilience and hope somewhere on the horizon.
While the music dotes quite a deal in instrumental textures and ambientness, its words pass as an appeal seeking recognition or connection. The lines surrounded with the phrase "Don't lock me out" carry inherent implications of relationships, self-discovery, and an apathetic world—the listening world that sometimes feels isolated. The delivery underscores these lines, almost mouthing them in breath, creating a wondrous landscape for the emotions to fully blossom through the song.
"Don't Lock Me Out" becomes a rather intimate and deep listening experience in a genre often characterized by commercial beats bulldozing the surface-level structures. Al Kenizo proves that electronic music can be about emotions, storytelling, and, in other words, something personal.
