Colorado-based DJ and Producer Motifv unveiled his captivating EP, Behind the Moon, last Friday, March 22, 2024. This release signifies the next phase in Motifv’s musical journey, expanding upon the groundwork laid by his previous EP, Where the Sun Sets. The latest EP effortlessly blends elements of hip-hop, bass, indie, and jazz music, showcasing Motifv’s versatility as an artist.
“Behind the Moon stands as a reflective companion to Where the Sun Sets, encapsulating both a conclusion and a beginning of a new Motifv chapter,” said Motifv. “While building on the themes present in Where the Sun Sets, this EP delves deeper into introspection and explores the moments of solitude and contemplation we all face.”
The latest EP by Motifv comprises six tracks that offer listeners a glimpse into his evolving musical expedition. The collection commences with an enigmatic blend of bass and piano in “Just A Dream,” followed by the infectious jazz groove of “Outta My Head.” Transitioning into “Too Late,” a tranquil ambiance takes hold. “I Believe” intertwines electronic, soul, and jazz elements and is accompanied by serene vocals. “Since the Day” reemerges with tranquil bass undertones, guiding the listener towards the blissful finale, “Fooled.”
“Echoing the natural phenomenon of the total solar eclipse occurring on April 8, this companion EP explores the metaphorical interplay of light and shadow in our lives,” said Motifv. “During an eclipse, the moon obscures the sun, casting a shadow that envelops us in a momentary darkness — a powerful reminder for us of the cycles of hiding and revelation. Where the Sun Sets / Behind the Moon represent a unified journey through self-discovery and evolution, inspired by the worldwide experience of transition soon taking place above.”
