Humble Francis steps to the forefront with a power-charged new single, "Pyro." This is an electric concoction that has infused rap with the forlorn sadness of blues and a harsh edge from rock, telling stories and opening windows into turbulent experiences. "Pyro" breaks free of predictable alternative hip-hop expectations with a versatile, movie soundtrack-like energy that offers hints of '90s indie rock rebellion, all wrapped around an authenticity rarely heard in classic hip-hop. Highlighted by an intriguing guitar riff that resonates more as a low rumble alongside a memorable hook that tells itself over and over in your head.
Meticulously using both acerbic and poetic bars to confront themes of decay and renewal, Humble Francis is a compelling voice in a moment fraught with myriad deaths and births. This serves as a reminder of the madness in our world. That theme is further emphasized in the accompanying music video, which mocks pop culture glitz, political absurdities, and daily madness. Fans of the kinetic live presence of Run The Jewels, the fiery fast-spitting verses of Denzel Curry, or the confrontational energy exuded from Rage Against the Machine, who've been itching for that hit of adrenaline fuel, they'll find it well worth cranking "Pyro." It is a fun track, but also introspective and hopefully revolutionary, inspiring our playlists with its infectious energy.
Inspired by their 90s indie rock heroes, Humble Francis has produced a sound that acknowledges many genres, which are clearly reflected in their music. The result is an intense auditory experience where strong rhythms meet and follow passionate narratives. Ultimately, "Pyro" is effectively a call to arms to face the tumultuous absurdity of life and acknowledge that new beginnings are on the horizon, albeit with some growing pains. If your desire is to hear music that speaks deeply and reflects the inequities of the world, Humble Francis delivers track after track.
