In the world of electronic music, where beats and rhythms intertwine to create audio landscapes, Late Night Radio, helmed by the talented Alex Medellin, emerges as a beacon of introspection and soulful soundscapes.
With the release of “Pocket Full of Dreams” on October 20th via Philos Records, Late Night Radio is set to engrave a new milestone in the genre.
The Genesis of “Pocket Full of Dreams”
“Pocket Full of Dreams” is not just an album; it’s a narrative odyssey. Blending reflective rhythms with soul-inspired hip-hop beats, the album traverses the thematic spectrum of life’s pursuits and dreams, capturing the poignant highs and lows of human experience. It stands as a testament to Medellin’s profound musical prowess and his life experiences both within and outside the realm of music.
Vulnerability and Authenticity
Medellin’s approach to this album has been one of vulnerability and authenticity. “Creating this album made me realize how important being vulnerable in your art is,” he explains. This project reflects his personal struggle with feeling ‘good enough’ and finding his place in an ever-changing environment, likening the release to “releasing a private journal.”
The Creative Process
The interplay between energetic tour experiences and reflective studio sessions played a crucial role in shaping “Pocket Full of Dreams.” Medellin found inspiration both from the vibrant energy of live shows and from introspective moments away from the stage. He acknowledges, “Touring provides inspiration, but the quiet times let me truly connect with my experiences.”
Collaborative Genius
The album is further enriched by collaborations with artists like Motifv, Poldoore, and Michal Menert. Tracks such as “Found (with Motifv)” and “Shining (with Poldoore)” weave compelling stories and delve deep into internal conflicts, life’s challenges, and the unpredictability and beauty of existence. These collaborations don’t just add to the album’s sonic tapestry; they deepen its narrative, making each song a distinct chapter in a cohesive story.
A Lifelong Romance with Music
Medellin’s life-long romance with music resonates in every track of “Pocket Full of Dreams.” Listeners are invited to embark on an unparalleled musical journey, rich in emotion, experience, and introspection.
