Some records feel less like sound and more like alchemy—Beauty Is Perspective is one of them. With a feather-light touch and an ear for the divine, GODBLESSHAZE pulls old Hollywood glamour through a hazy vignette of ambient transcendence, where hushed organic hues furl like kaleidoscopic smoke.
The masterfully mused, sonorously seraphic production moves like a dream in slow motion, carrying diaphanous finger-picked guitar notes and harmonies that seem to exist outside of time itself. As the melodies ascend, so does the listener—until the final, ornate crescendo lands like a revelation.
Born in Cape Town, GODBLESSHAZE has never just played music; he’s lived it. From cutting his teeth in the competitive high school circuit to dropping three era-defining EPs, his trajectory has been fuelled by both ambition and introspection. A four-year hiatus only sharpened his craft, shaping his sound into something that defies expectation.
With Beauty Is Perspective, his official debut single, he offers a glimpse into a world where grief, gratitude, and ambition coalesce. Inspired by the loss of his cousin, whose spirit visits him in the form of a butterfly, the track is a meditation on finding light in loss and redefining success on one’s own terms.
Beauty is Perspective will be available to stream on all major platforms, including SoundCloud, from January 31st.
