Testing Melodies

Man who has a dreamy key to musical madness, it seems, 'ReetoxA' is on a wild spree to greatness with back-to-back bangers, and we're so grateful to be here for it!

Not going to write a fancy paragraph praising music here, because we all know how crucial it is for our survival at this point. It is what has given us hope of betterment, been our supportive cushion through heartbreaks and has blessed us with so many great opportunities and connections, and I feel like this 'Appalling Reflects' roundup has got so many bangers which will serve the same purpose.

Sometimes music doesn't have to do a lot for it to move a neede. They don't have to sound coherent at all with whatever what reach out to the most in the moment, no matter the reason, yet they leave a tint of mesmerisation on our minds, and this roundup called 'Sonic Retreat' is literally about songs that make you escape the norm.

Let's check them out together!

Some tracks move you. Regardless of their genre, the language they speak or their vibe, there's something about them that our brain clings onto. Who knows, maybe a weird psychic reaction in our neural pathways of sorts? But as a consequence, such tracks create a 'bang' or lasting imprint. You're either moving your body, moving thoughts in your head or beginning to literally shake a leg! Well, I'd like to call such tracks 'An Awe-Inspiring Mix', what about you?

There's a series of events that guide us on our eventual destined path of life. However, music is the torchbearer of it. Almost everyone and their mother has got a distinctive style of music they resonate with, their soul clings onto, and almost everyone has got an artist they look up to.
