After starting his career with a few singles since the pandemic, young artist Iridezent decided to make his full-length debut with Nightmares, an album that takes listeners across the musician’s thoughts, dreams, memories and, of course, nightmares through an emo trap rooted sound. Nightmares starts with its title track, an emo trap tune that provides a haunting atmosphere. Afterwards, “Carnival” is a drill and grime inspired tune that explores what seems to be the aftermath of a bad drug trip. Then “Insomnia” serves as an exploration of the subject matter in the title through a surreal and dreamy trap beat and, the vocals, and lyrics. Next “Before I Go” entrances listeners with its hypnotic guitar sample and evocative autotune vocals. Subsequently, “Falling From The Sky” feels like a drug-fueled trip through its lyrics and mesmerizing sample. The second half of the project starts with “Circus”, a psychedelic melodic emo trap song that’ll enthrall listeners. After that, “Beautiful Smile” is yet another melodic emo trap tune that finds the musician hypnotizing audiences with a magnetic guitar mixed with autotune vocals in a heartbreak-driven tale. Later, “Forest” continues the mix of guitar-driven emo trap as the artist continues the vibe set by the previous tune. Afterwards, “Wraith” finds Iridezent again exploring drill and grime in a song that has banger potential, or at the very least moshpit potential. Finally, the project provides “Dreams”, a record that once again takes listeners into the artist’s hazy thoughts, dreams, and hallucinations.
In sum, Iridezent’s Nightmares is an emo trap project that takes listeners into the musician’s thoughts, hallucinations, dreams and more while using guitar samples and psychedelic elements to enhance the sound.
