JAXON REID
HUSH HUSH BIZ SINGLE REVIEW
Breaking
Rising Australian music star, Jaxon Reid, makes an impressive entrance onto the music scene with his debut single, Breaking, a compelling pop-rock anthem that captures the emotional turmoil of the COVID-19 pandemic. The track, with its powerful vocals and evocative and direct lyricism, showcases Jaxon’s undeniable talent and is sure to resonate with listeners worldwide.
Breaking explores the feelings of disconnect and isolation experienced during the lockdown, using a minimalistic yet emotionally charged arrangement to convey the depth of these emotions. The song’s haunting melody, underscored by a simple keyboard accompaniment, augments the intensity of Jaxon’s voice, creating an immersive and stirring experience for the listener. In discussing the inspiration behind his debut, Jaxon reflects on the impact of the pandemic on his life and the lives of those around him: ‘I normally had a very busy life with lots of sport and social activities with friends, so it was really hard to be locked down. Everyone had a story; I had friends that were really struggling; you heard stories on the news of domestic violence, medical staff were at breaking point. Nobody was left untouched.’ Despite the darker themes of loss, fear, and loneliness, Breaking offers an irresistible hook in its chorus, providing a glimmer of hope amidst the uncertainty. Jaxon’s mission as an artist is to create music that can bring joy and solace to others: ‘I want to get my music out to as many people as possible in the hope it can bring joy to people. I hope people can relate to something that I have created; I want to try and make people happy and help people find a song that they can truly connect to.’ With over 100,000 YouTube views and counting to his name, Breaking is set to become Jaxon Reid’s breakout hit and a powerful testament to our collective experiences during the pandemic.
