“Phases” is the kind of debut that doesn’t aim for loud fireworks, it just lands, solid and raw. The track is led by Lenny Jennings’ guitar, which feels more like a lead character than a supporting instrument. There’s tension in the way he plays, not in the technicality, but in the way each note seems to hesitate before letting go. It’s an emotionally heavy listen that never tries to force you to feel anything, which makes it hit harder.
Backed by Evida’s production, the song blends a few different genres without sounding unsure of itself. There’s the energy of alt rock, the groove of hip-hop, and something soulful threading through the whole thing. The beat is patient. The vocals sit in that quiet frustration between saying too much and not saying anything at all. It’s about the moments when nothing is really happening, but everything feels like it is.
“Phases” sounds like it came from someone who wasn’t trying to chase trends. It feels personal, like it was made in the middle of something difficult. And that honesty is what makes it land. There’s room for this track in film or TV, especially the kind of scenes that don’t need big dialogue because the tension’s already in the room.
For a debut, it’s a sharp first step. And it doesn’t feel like a one-off. It feels like an introduction.
