EZI’s recently released EP, “Into Your Power,” is part of her upcoming album “Into Your Power, Into The Light”, which, for the record, is not just your average collection of songs; It is a powerful narrative that takes you on a transformative journey.
According to EZI, “Into Your Power” is about moving from a place of helplessness to embracing your inner strength. The songs themselves have a dark and moody vibe with a cinematic feel. EZI drew inspiration from several sources, including influential artists and iconic films such as “Birdman” and “Kill Bill.”
With “Cold Cement,” EZI goes into a deep exploration of toxic relationships and how we tend to repeat self-destructive behaviours. The lyrics expose the protagonist’s vulnerability as she reflects on past mistakes, the lure of danger, and the painful but familiar feeling of hitting rock bottom. It’s hard to break free from these harmful situations, even when we know otherwise because there is something strangely addictive about chaos and pain.
“Play God”, is a song that delves into the themes of control and the exhilarating surge of power. The lyrics are about a character on the verge of self-destruction, fascinated by her ability to manipulate and dominate her environment.
The song reflects on the internal struggle between the desire for control and the recognition of its dangerous consequences. With a mix of defiance and introspection, “Play God” shows the allure and dangers of living on the edge, constantly chasing the pinnacle of omnipotence.
A standout song is “She’s Back,” a strong anthem of resilience and revenge. The song tells the story of a fierce and unyielding person who refuses to be defeated.
“Stop” is another powerful track with a quite seductive sound in which EZI’s voice stands out, giving it a marked seductive style.
Just when the protagonist thought she had buried her old self, she reemerges even stronger and more determined. This song is about declaring survival and strength, with powerful images of battles fought and the search for revenge. It perfectly captures the essence of overcoming past traumas and taking back power.
“Into Your Power” is a captivating showcase of EZI’s artistic vision and her growth as a musician. The EP’s dark and moody vibes, along with deeply personal lyrics, create an immersive experience that truly connects with listeners on different levels.
EZI’s ability to combine pop sensibilities with avant-garde influences is already a personal trademark that results in a truly unique and refreshing sound. This EP not only showcases her musical talent but also reveals her remarkable ability to tell deep and relatable stories through her art.
