Josh Makazo has released his emotionally charged new EP BEFORE I SEE via No Saints Allowed.
Serving as a deeply introspective prelude to his forthcoming sophomore album, ULTRAVIOLET, this project showcases Makazo's multi-faceted sound through a blend of dark R&B, pop, and hip-hop, drawing listeners into the intense emotional journey of heartbreak and self-discovery.
The 4-track EP confronts the raw realities of infidelity, capturing the ways in which deep affection can morph into profound heartache. Focused on the emotional fallout of broken trust, Makazo captures the struggle of reconciling cherished memories with the pain of betrayal. Through evocative lyrics and atmospheric production, he guides listeners through the stages of emotional turmoil—from exhilaration to devastation—as he navigates the painful journey of reevaluating love after deception.
Focus track, 'Breathtaker', is a fiery ode to the intensity of passion and infatuation, driven by a questionable yet unwavering dedication to a new lover. Exploring the blurred lines between fleeting passion and genuine love, the track prompts reflection on whether this fire will burn bright or fade away. With Makazo's rhythmic pulse mirroring the rush of desire and lyrics that paint a vivid picture of overwhelming devotion, 'Breathtaker' leaves listeners breathless, fully immersed in the powerful pull of love's most reckless moments.
