BEHIND THE SONG
Release date: November 23, 2023
Having the music direction entirely in his hands, ’The Electro Pop Symphony’ is a defining piece of Xtravagant’s unique pop sound, with the most viewed music video so far. A bold mix of electro-pop and elements of an orchestra, with the operetta-styled chorus and singing-rap verses, makes this single one of the most daring among his works so far. It’s Xtravagant’s musical and lyrical story based on how his artistic persona is eccentric while having the source of inspiration from his idols. As mentioned above, a spectacular music video accompanies the single’s release, all in the glamour and extravaganza style.
Words of himself: “It is no secret that my idea of the musical aspect was highly inspired by Falco’s ’Rock Me Amadeus’ and Robbie Williams‘ ’Party Like a Russian’ vibe. Every time I listen to those songs, the goosebumps occur on my whole body. Even today, the operetta chorus with the rap verses in Falco’s piece is astonishing, so I decided to show people my operetta chorus. Since I did rap songs years ago, I put the verses of this song in a bit of the singing-rap direction, too. Combining the pop sound with sampled classical string elements in Robbie’s piece gave me the main idea of composing such pop electronic-orchestra fusion. Within one day, I wrote the music and the lyrics. My songwriting partner, George Fowner, helped me with the bassline, and then, it was there. The song was born like a spark or a thunderbolt in my head! I think it’s one of my hugest pop tunes so far.“
