Freshly released and fitting incredibly nicely into the discography of Lij, he’s back with a fantastic new track titled “CANNONBALL”. Don’t miss it! Read on for our full review of the single, as well as a refresher on this highly talented artist.


Diving into complex themes surrounding the artist’s struggles with agoraphobia due to past relationship struggles, Lij has expertly blended together his massive strengths in songwriting, paired with an effortlessly catchy song. Blurring the lines of all genres, but mainly being labeled as “hyperpunk”, it’s a great modern take on the nostalgic emo punk sounds of the 2000’s. Truly though, we can’t wait for everyone to get their ears on it.


Paired with a visualizer that’s linked below, the entire release surrounding “CANNONBALL” has been a legitimate masterclass in exactly what to do when rolling out something like this that is so personal. You can so purely feel not only in this song, but in the entirety of Lij’s music, but making music is a way to cope with the struggles of life. The immense amount of passion and love that came through here, especially within the vocal delivery, is a total testament that Lij is doing exactly what he was born to do, make captivating music.


Even better though is that he’s been on a consistent roll this year so far with so many solid single releases. Obviously “CANNONBALL” has found its place in this string of songs, and with every new output from Lij has come another wave of showing old and new listeners exactly what he’s capable of. The future's looking bright and he honestly keeps one upping himself in terms of production value and the sheer quality that keeps on coming.


Normally we like to point out a couple critiques or things to improve upon, but this song clearly shows that this musician has found his path and is sticking to it. Here you’ll find a flawless track that’s just begging to be listened to! With that being said, go ahead and click that link below to listen, as well as checking out his social media as well.
