He’s been known to make everyday situations come to life, but Horizyn’s latest drop, “SUMMER OF LXVE,” captures summer in a bottle like no other in this new video. Boasting the soulful vocals of Vandana Nirankari, the song evokes the feeling of stepping into a sun-soaked memory you never realized you had missed.
“SUMMER OF LXVE” beams warmth from its first beat. Horizyn’s playful rap delivery glides across the production with ease, effortlessly conjuring images of love, liberty, and companionship against the spectrum of UK summer culture. His lyrical snapshots, Polaroid photos, rides in the Notting Hill Carnival, a picnic in Victoria Park, and even a wink at the BBC weather weave a tapestry of memories that feels playful and intensely private. It’s followed by Vandana Nirankari’s feature, a soulful anchor that gives the track’s immediate sunshine some depth. Her voice raises the chorus to something timeless, the spirit of connection coursing through the song. Together, they find a rare equilibrium, the grounded storytelling of Horizyn and the emotive presence of Nirankari for a record that feels simultaneously intimate and universal.
“SUMMER OF LXVE” is not just a summer anthem but a soundtrack for memory-making. Whether in the exhilaration of a carnival ride, the languid sprawl of a park date, or those endless summer nights when love appears boundless, Horizyn recreates the enchantment of transient moments that outlast the season.
But the track is notable for its honesty. In contrast to spitting back formulaic summer singles, “SUMMER OF LXVE” doesn’t just tell us about the season, it invites us in to feel it. The listener is not so much asked to listen to the music as to go back and live their own version of those moments, dancing, laughing, falling in love under the claimed light of somebody else’s setting sun.
