The music has the beats gaping a hole with the wide curves that the synths replenish as they pierce the curves with pulsating and zooming energy. The artist creates an enigmatic aura in the sonic landscape that hypnotizes anyone and lures them to the folds of the song.
J Lymโs vocals in โEmptyโ are breathy, whispery, and high, echoing with a sultry and vulnerable contour. The repeated refrain of โleft me emptyโ expresses the feelings of abandonment and the attempt to erase the loneliness within. The singer explores the essence of accepting freeing emptiness following the release of a caged circumstance. They suggest that some emotions are best left untouched and acknowledged.
The Jakarta street ambiance infused into the song adds a haunting allure, creating a hallowing and blurring effect that enhances the overall mood. The fusion of these elements contributes to the aesthetics of โEmpty,โ and inundates listeners in the emotional landscape painted by J Lym.
Notably, the song stands out for being both produced and written by the singer, showcasing the one-man army, J Lymโs cohesive and impactful musical experience. After his previous release, โRide,โ gained a lot of momentum in the industry, his previous release, โEmpty,โ continues to solidify J Lymโs presence in the music scene.
