“Projections“ by Sam Jaxson

“Projections” by Sam Jaxson is a riveting blend of hip hop, pop, and rap elements that results in a one of a kind track. Jaxson is an innovative artist currently based in Los Angeles who consistently creates dynamic sonic landscapes to support his compelling narratives. With unique instrument textures, contrasting song sections, and thought-provoking lyrics, “Projections” is a song for anyone with a dream that is hoping to overcome the heavy weight of other people’s expectations.

With lyrics like “come a long way from the basement” and “I owe it to myself, I won’t let them win,” it is immediately clear that Jaxson is someone with a strong work ethic. His ambition carried him through when other people doubted him, or told him he wasn’t good enough. It can be easy to fall victim to caring too much about what other people think. But Jaxson knows that their “projections” of him are not nearly as important as his definition of himself, which is the only thing that really matters in his drive to get what he wants. 

Other worldly synth sounds provide ambience and melody, moving in tandem with the walking chorus melodies for a satisfying effect. The heavy beat has you grooving, and the ear candy melodies get stuck in your head. Quickly rapped verses are contrasted with the more drawn out melodies of the chorus, offering an enthralling sonic journey that keeps you on your toes. The music video for the track features clips of Jaxson sitting in front of projected images as he sings, adding an extra immersive feel to the song.
