Valiancy’s Voices doesn’t ease you in gently — it pulls you straight into the thick of it. There’s a tension running through the track that feels deliberate, like a conversation happening in the dark when no one else is around to interrupt. Built and shaped entirely by Kyle Harris, the single carries the weight of something personal, not outsourced or diluted. You can hear that sense of control in the production choices, especially in the way the Moog synths move beneath the surface — uneasy, pulsing, alive.
Recorded at Venice International Studios and produced and mixed by Valiancy, the sound feels expansive but never overblown. The synth textures don’t just decorate the track; they create the atmosphere. There’s a constant push and pull between stillness and surge, mirroring the mental battle at the centre of the song. It’s not framed as a distant concept — it feels immediate. The kind of internal dialogue that grows louder when everything else goes quiet. Lyrically and thematically, Voices tackles negative self-talk and suicidal thoughts head-on. There’s no romanticising of darkness here. Instead, the track captures the strain of fighting something that lives inside your own head. That’s where the influence of artists like Peter Gabriel and James Blake becomes clear — not in imitation, but in emotional depth and restraint. The song breathes in space, allowing each moment to land without rushing toward relief.
What makes Voices stand out is its commitment. This isn’t a surface-level exploration of mental health; it feels lived-in and intentional. Valiancy isn’t chasing trends or trying to soften the message. The result is a haunting, immersive piece that stays with you long after it ends — a reminder that some of the hardest battles are the ones no one else can see.
