Space Is All We Have – Mafia
This Indian band, who are from Bangalore, combines hip-hop, electronic, and rock influences to create an atmosphere that is both familiar and energizingly avant-garde. The track opens with an explosion of intense sound effects and dance synths, immediately setting a dynamic atmosphere. As the drums and electric bass kick in around the 30-second mark, the song gains a driving rock rhythm that propels the listener forward. The singer delivers the lyrics with authentic passion, weaving melodic rock lines with hip-hop-infused delivery reminiscent of acts like Linkin Park. Rich orchestration that combines gritty rock guitars and multilayered synths is what makes “Mafia” stand out. While the 2010s and post-grunge era are certainly influences, the song’s electronic components give it an appealing experimental vibe. The futuristic themes presented in the lyrics are excellently complemented by the intriguing sound spectrum created by this combination of sounds. Speaking of lyrics, “Mafia” dives into a narrative where a human male endeavors to woo an alien female in a world of secrets and hypersystems. Lyrics such as “Get back into my backseat, and I’ll ride you to my spaceship” and “Follow me into the night, and I’ll show you who we are” create feelings of longing and adventure, drawing the listener even more into the surreal story of the song.
