Haling from Stockholm, Moulod is a musician whose art starts first with words. Constantly processing and working through his experiences, writing lyrics is a way of understanding his reality. The importance of message runs through his latest single, Socialites.
On the song, Moulod teams up with Rûn to create a deep piece of dubby electronic R&B. Mechanical sounding bass kicks as hushed vocals breathe heavily, exploring the notion of public and private identities, and ‘the cost of peace in a status-obsessed world’. The song hums with a dark push-and-pull, between what we want, and what we need.
Overall Moulod has created a cinematic and emotive piece in Socialites, dark, sultry and yet longing for a little tranquility. It surrounds the listener, much like the distractions of our modern world, yet those words push us to look for something deeper.
