Ristlynn: "I'm Going Down"
Anchorage, Alaska, United States-residing artist, Ristlynn puts raw, unsweetened truth at the forefront of his music. His dynamic array of influences falls around his sweetly sardonic style, proving that sarcasm and optimism can lie hand in hand. With the tendency to take influence from Prince, Panic! At the Disco, Bruno Mars and Maroon 5, there’s commercial appeal without the sacrifice of self-expression.
Pop Punk and Funk prove to be the ultimate antidote to the 2020-instilled malaise, as evidenced by Ristlynn’s euphoric stormer of a debut single ‘I’m Going Down’.
The Alaskan alt-pop artist fused danceable disco beats around hook-laden guitars to create a sonically euphoric soundscape for his witty paradoxical lyricism which invites the listener to stop idealising hedonistic idling.
I’m Going Down was officially released on November 20th, 2020, the accompanying music video written, directed and filmed by Ristlynn premiered on December 4th, 2020. Ristlynn’s DIY ethos combined with their connectable unfiltered charisma is a sure-fire recipe for success.
Ristlynn explained: “I’m Going Down was written a year ago during a transitional phase. I was partying a lot and putting my struggles on the backburner until they overcooked, then I realised it was time for positive change and to feel like I was going somewhere. I’d burned out and reignited several times over a short period; I’m Going Down is a reflection, one which will undoubtedly resonate after the collective experiences shared during 2020.”
