“Offline“ by MandyCan

“Offline” by MandyCan is an enveloping and impactful track, merging R&B, electronic, and pop genres to create a fresh sound. MandyCan, an imaginative artist from New Zealand, collaborated with Alvina and Baseball Alien to craft this poignant track about the importance of disconnecting from the internet. The addictive qualities of social media are especially hypnotizing, and it can take a lot of effort to get offline and be present with your life and your loved ones. “Offline” offers deep synths, atmospheric flutes, and thoughtful lyrics to examine this phenomenon. 

This impressive collaboration was done completely remotely over three different time zones. With the invigorating beat from MandyCan, the haunting flutes from Baseball Aliens, and the melodies, lyrics, and vocals from Alvina, the impressive individual talent from each artist effortlessly blends together in “Offline.” The energetic journey through this song is captivating, moving from floating and ethereal to dense and locked in. Pulsing synths and thumping kicks provide a tense atmosphere, while the lilting vocals offer sweet comfort. 

Lines like “I don’t need to follow time, no there’s no rush” reference the bliss that comes with “going offline.” Free from the constraints of hyper-connectivity and constant notifications, it can feel like time itself has lost its grip on you. Though it might not be realistic long term, living offline and prioritizing mindfulness, especially if you’re doing it with someone you love, lets you live in a transcendent landscape of going with the flow. This is mirrored by the free flowing beat and swimming atmosphere of “Offline.”
