Better with the Devil
A spacious cruise through elegance. Khazali is a multi-media artist and visionary. Dabbling in DJ sets, graphic design and even acting, his creative potential knows no bounds.
His new single ‘Better with the Devil’ incorporates a luscious blend of soft analogue synths and crisp basslines, paired with Khazali’s effortlessly calming voice. Often compared to artists like Sampha, there is a maturity to Khazali’s presence, unravelling a meticulous approach to song writing. Every vocal harmony, every synth stab, and every percussive element has its place.
Lyrically, the song focusses on a situation of disarray, not knowing “where to go” without someone. The passionate longing resonates throughout the track as though some integral piece of the puzzle is missing.
Khazali’s silky soundscapes beautifully encapsulate the power of emotion and the importance of harnessing the unexpected. This is what the future of neo-soul sounds like.
