One Empty Toybox tackles a serious subject in a surprisingly light musical touch on “Cyberstalking”, creating a song that attempts to entertain while shining a light on a matter that warrants some real thought.
There is an interesting evolutionary feel to the track's development. "Cyberstalking" began with an instrumental base, then vocals and lead guitars were added, gradually evolving the initial idea into a more interesting and comprehensive song. The progression suggests a song created in layers, using the basic instrumental structure as a launchpad for the added vigor of the vocal and guitar sections.
The release is notable for the juxtaposition of its melodic style with the gravity of its theme. One Empty Toybox doesn’t take a harsh or sad approach to cyberstalking, instead, it adopts a lighter tone, allowing the song to reach listeners from a different vantage point. The outcome is a composition that conveys vital messages without sacrificing its melodic enjoyment.
The lead guitars add another dimension to the music, and the vocals help the song transcend its initial instrumental form. These features work together to make the foundation feel more alive and interesting. “Cyberstalking” is tied to Stop Stalking Us and its charity mission, which gives the project greater importance.
