There is something special that happens when heartbreak comes with nothing but pure musicianship, and Reetoxa's new single "Humbug" is evidence of this. The track is a story, crafted from a moment of perfect human weakness and just the right amount of beautiful accident. The song "Humbug" was written after some bad luck with the more modern dating apps. That quiet frustration began to make itself heard in music when Jason, playing scales, let his fingers stray in one direction or another, latching onto a variation that would turn out to be the soul of "Humbug."
Guitarist James Ryan took that spark and lit a fuse to the stratosphere, coming up with guitar lines that go to Saturn and Mars before crashing back to the Earth. The result is an emotional powerhouse of a track that's as personal as it is musically vibrant. That trebly bass, those smash-and-groove beats, and those knife-edge guitar runs are all the support Jason can ask for when laying out that high-flying voice. His mood is suffused with the pain of longing unfulfilled, but he never lets go of a glimmer at the end of the tunnel.
This is not a song of surrender but is one of resilience, creativity, and the magic of what can happen when life doesn't go as planned.Best served up live or through a good set of headphones, "Humbug" pulls listeners into Reetox's world of personal tales and fantastic musicianship. It's evidence that sometimes, a wrong note can take you to the right song. Reetoxa has created a true, timeless statement, an anthem for anyone who's loved, lost, and found their fresh start in music.
