NineMansionโs New Life EP steps into a glimmering dreamscape, one where heartbreak, peace, and self-assurance swirl in neon colors. The six-track project is a personal rebirth and a sonic evolution, as it blends heavy 808s, airy synths, and an almost spiritual sense of calm. Born and raised in Portsmouth, Virginia, NineMansion (Nicholas Jones) has come a long way from his early Piโerre Bourne-inspired beats. Now, his futuristic trap sound, infused with influences like Bladee and Kiryano, sits somewhere between celestial serenity and human ache. New Life gives you vulnerability and confidence in one package while marking the beginning of a new chapter.
The EP kicks off with โMoon,โ a shimmering opener built on glitzy, slow-paced beats. NineMansionโs vocals are hypnotic and chilled, as he sings, โMy shawty be the baddest,โ coming off completely awed and appreciative about his girlโas he should. Thereโs devotion in his delivery, by the way he paints his muse as an angel, radiant and loyal, like a prism reflecting all the light in his world. Then, โChosenโ slides in with a soft piano intro that blooms into a lush, gushing flow of soothing rhythm. He croons, โTell me if you notice, all talk / Baby want me โcause I am chosen,โ the line lands like a sigh of relief, happy self-recognition coming from the satisfaction of his romantic calm.
โCanโt Fix Itโ hits with a more intense driving music with it pulsing forth in rippling restless waves, like emotions undulating as he sings of how smitten he is with her. Throughout New Life, NineMansion crafts a mood, a hazy universe where vulnerability glows like starlight. Listen to this lovestruck, hypnotic buzz on Spotify.
