Are you looking for fresh music that not only tells a compelling story but also delves into themes of love, heartbreak, and purpose? Look no further than ‘The Prophet’ album by Indie Rock artist Zachary Campos.
The 10-track material revolves around the fictional narrative of a prophet named Jeremiah who is sent to San Francisco by God to warn people about the apocalypse. But, his mission is derailed when he can’t resist the temptation of falling in love.
In order to find his goals, Jeremiah must confront his inner demons and overcome the obstacles.
Additionally, this album draws inspiration from the classic book ‘The Prophet’ by Khalil Gibran and features song titles named after its chapters. Nevertheless, ‘The Prophet’ also serves as a metaphor for the artist’s tumultuous past relationship.
In my opinion, there’s no denying that “Pain” is among the top tunes in this record. You will experience the steady and repetitive rhythm of drums, while his verses tell you how his chaotic drama started.
Most importantly, the frenetic and rebellious nature of his sound is due in large part to his collaboration with Josh Zuckermann and Tim J Abbott. Both producers bring their own perspectives to the table by delivering raw punkish energy.
What’s more, Zachary Campos achieves a lot for his visuals on a low budget, using a straightforward concept and a modest shooting location. Although it’s true creating chart-topping hits takes effort, today his art stands out due to its introspective tone.
In short, he writes compositions you can relate to.
