Buzzing synths and ghostly vocals craft a consuming atmospheric intrigue throughout Josephine Odhil‘s single “Empathy,” a memorable melding of dreamy synth-laden pop and psychedelia. Themes of emotional disconnect show in the lyrics, with references to a “sinking heart,” cementing an overall exploration of empathy — and how it seems to exist so little in today’s world. The release is specifically described as “a song for those who feel deeply in a world that feels too little.” The result is a riveting melodic and thematic success from Josephine Odhil.
