A shimmering pop piece made up of electronic sounds where emotions win over overthinking.

The New Citizen Kane is an indie musician who has been producing the kinds of pop songs that engage you by mixing up storytelling from different angles, electronic sounds, and pure emotions. His inspiration comes not only from music but also from theatre and various art forms, and so he comes up with whole ideas or stories where music, videos, and live shows all serve the same idea or message.
In "METALLIC," The New Citizen Kane is seen to be boldly moving into a different creative stage with the creation of a catchy synth-pop number blending vulnerability and emotions.

Right from the very start, the use of bright synths and the beat that pulses on and on creates a kind of bright atmosphere which is almost like the city's neon glow; it gives a feeling of both the big screen and intimacy at the same time.
"METALLIC" is actually not only a song, but it is a whole experience where one's control over something that is very close and the total freedom one can get from it are discussed and shown very nicely. By describing how one can get lost in a city, get into nightlife, or be able to just let their feelings go, Kane encourages everyone to just take a leap of faith and enjoy living to their potential.
The track is also released during Pride season, and thereby becomes quite an anthem in celebrating one's identity, self-acceptance, and the sense of liberation brought about through living truthfully with oneself rather than hiding the "real" one. Something that really catches on while listening to this track is that Truth is it is capable of combining deep thoughts in a very moving manner with dance elements. It seems quite fitting that "METALLIC" would be chosen as the song that reveals the nature of the next collection of the new Citizen Kane. The single itself, as well as the album which is about to come out, will definitely give a lot to talk about.
