The album combines textures and flavors we\u2019ve yet to see from Jaxxon and many others in this genre-hybrid. There is something truly unique about this record, and though some aspects can be compared to names like MGK for their catchy punk-rock lyrics, Jaxxon combats these elements with grime and drill-influenced beats \u2013 setting him apart from all other artists in this genre. Though the album as a whole is a masterpiece, the standout track is undoubtedly \u201cShooting In The Dark.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The song begins in a rather unassuming manner, different from what we know of Jaxxon D Silva\u2019s usual style. A mellow guitar strumming is soon matched with a muted yet upbeat drum beat. His mellow, emotional and alternative influence really shine through in this track, giving us a glimpse into a more intimate side to Jaxxon. The song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of unrequited love, with lyrics \u201cI think I fell in love with a lost cause, thought that it was mutual I guess not.\u201d Simultaneously upbeat and mellow, the track promises to be an anthem for the brokenhearted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jaxxon proves his true multidisciplinary nature in his passion not only for creating more music, but&nbsp;future plans including the release of an original short film following his new EP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>About Jaxxon D.
