"Black Hole" is Midnight Poetry's debut single and their introduction to the music world as a band. The single is coming out on Monday, March 25th, available on Bandcamp, along with the official video, depicting the mood of the sound, lyrics and vocals. "Black Hole" creates a contrast between the electronic sound that goes into the lines of future pop along with cold, dark ambience, the lyricism and the strong vocals which are perfectly expressing what the song stands for. A track that seamlessly blending elements of electronic and dark pop music to create an eerie yet captivating atmosphere.
Midnight Poetry about "Black Hole": "This song encapsulates the thoughts and emotions awakened in our memory after enduring a challenging situation from the past, which we relive in the present. This could stem from a separation, loss of a loved one, rejection, or other painful experiences. Such events are inescapable, compelling us to engage in a personal struggle to stay in control and avoid being consumed by the abyss that threatens our very being. The lyrics liken loneliness to a dead desert, where the soul, floating and dancing with a ghost, seeks to rediscover its essence."
