From the very first beat, “On My Own” whisks us up in a swirling rainbow of myriad synths, crushing drops, and ascending layers of vocals, all of which feel both full and personal simultaneously. There is a lightness to Martineau’s approach in the track; each chord is purposeful, each build/bit in the release feels to be to uplift and empower independent of the mutes or fades in the lyrics.
While the emotional weight of the track is somewhat muddled with its genre-driven intensity, repeat listens really reveal meaningful and layered emotionality and craftsmanship. It is an eventful future bass track; one that simultaneously moves, while allowing some much-needed emotional reflection. “On My Own” is indicative of an amazing chapter for Christophe Martineau moving forward. The track is a firm embodiment of independence and a listenable, hopeful anthem for solo strength.
