MASS debuts with the forceful new single "PERSIA," a song that beats with emotion, atmosphere, and purpose. "PERSIA" is a trip, more than a release. It's that type of song, easy listening not just in its sound but in its staying power, how it makes itself comfortable in the listener's soul and refuses to leave.
"PERSIA" builds an epic and intimate space. MASS can draw on production as a painter does with color, each beat and melodic shift smeared there deliberately. Working with a cinematic quality, the track shapes ambient textures and emotional undercurrents into something nearly spiritual. It's the sound of one artist looking inward, creating a space that beckons listeners to do the same. MASS isn't afraid, which makes this release different. "PERSIA" goes beyond an auditory experience. It has themes about change, resilience, and the holy alchemy between pain and creation. MASS intimates the spiritual terrain that anchors Flea's approach to his creative mission. Walking through the valleys, with faith as a guide.
There's something meditative about "PERSIA," but don't take it for passivity. Underneath this calm is a tempest, the disquiet of the engine that speaks to MASS's unshakable desire for expansion, for life. This song is a definite step forward in his career and indicates what's to come. With word of an EP and unreleased tracks to come, it's fair to say fans should already feel that rising tide.
