Pheelz rises to the occasion, commanding the chaos with clarity as he explores the delicate balance between creativity and expectation. Following him, DaniLeigh graces the production with her silky-smooth cadence, drawing strength from themes of resilience and self-reflection. “Stuck” emerges as a bold statement of relevance, establishing noxz as a key voice for the next generation of musicians and creatives seeking solace in expression.
Reflecting on the essence of the track, noxz shares: ‘Stuck’ captures that in-between feeling: the pressure to follow a traditional path, the guilt of wanting more, and the quiet fire that finally sets you free. It’s an anthem for anyone balancing purpose and expectation, a reminder that being ‘stuck’ is often part of the process.”
This electrifying release follows the success of noxz’s critically acclaimed single “luh uh uh,” an ode to unexpected love featuring East London’s rising star Hamzaa. This previous offering showcased his ability to embody vulnerability and raw emotion, quickly earning accolades from the likes of WONDERLAND, GRM DAILY, NEW WAVE MAGAZINE, and ONES TO WATCH, all observing his powerful authenticity and boundary-pushing creativity.
Having migrated from Nigeria to the creative heart of London, noxz’s rich surroundings continue to influence his sonic explorations. A prodigious multi-instrumentalist since his youth, he has already garnered over 10 million streams, crafting a polished discography that seamlessly blends influences from Afro, jazz, soul, hip-hop, R&B, and beyond. Tracks like “When You’re Around” with South African star Lusanda and “What She Likes” with UK rapper V.I.C underscore his versatility and artistry.
As noxz forges ahead, collaborating with talent like Mad Keys, Malte Marten, and Relyae, his trajectory promises an explosive impact on the international music landscape for the foreseeable future. With a treasure trove of fresh sounds yet to unveil, we can’t help but anticipate what else this rising star will bring to the table.
Stay tuned; noxz is just getting started.
