The song begins with slow, dark electronic beats that set up a mystery style, quickly sending the listener into a world of desire and suspense. As the song develops, Zen Smith&#8217;s vocals take center stage, providing a dark and deeply personal performance. His desire-filled voice captures the heart of the lyrics as he sings, &#8220;When I see you again.&#8221; The electric guitar, carefully wrapped into the mix, offers depth and experimental vibes\u00a0reminding\u00a0of U2&#8217;s &#8220;Zooropa&#8221; album. This influence adds a little ethereal sense to the tune, mixing smoothly with the more solid, industrial elements that develop as the song progresses. The post-punk components (especially in the mix), with their raw and gritty form, add to the overall darkness, making the tune sound almost dystopian. Zen Smith&#8217;s vocal approach is particularly distinctive, reminding\u00a0of both David Bowie and Trent Reznor. He switches between quiet, whispering tones and strong, loud\u00a0vocals, creating a dynamic that keeps the audience on edge. &#8220;When I See You Again&#8221; is a song that mixes love, darkness, and eccentricity in a way that seems dark\u00a0as well as aggresive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"When I See You Again by Zen Smith\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1902580212&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=960&#038;maxwidth=640\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/zensmith.bandcamp.com\">https:\/\/zensmith.bandcamp.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zensmithmusic\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zensmithmusic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zen Smith&#8217;s &#8220;When I See You Again&#8221; is a mix of trip-hop, electronica, and dark&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25074,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[279,455,4136],"class_list":["post-25073","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-industrial","tag-post-punk","tag-zen-smith"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25073","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25073"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25073\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25075,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25073\/revisions\/25075"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25074"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25073"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25073"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25073"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
