“Soliloquy" by ReeToxA: A Journey of Different Emotions Through Rock

The dynamic rock band from Melbourne has released a 26-track album, “Soliloquy.” Led by Jason McKee, ReeToxA is a rock band that’s built on years of experience. There’s a strong sense of catharsis driving the project, where songwriting feels more like an emotional outlet than just a creative process. Their roots are firmly in rock, but there’s a clear willingness to experiment, blending 90s alt-rock influences with more modern, emotionally charged sounds. With parts of “Soliloquy” dating back to 1997 and finally coming together during the pandemic, the album carries a sense of time, persistence, and a story that’s been waiting to be told.

“There’s something about ReeToxA’s sound that just pulls you through different versions of yourself.”

The fact that this album has 26 tracks makes it sound heavy, but the themes keep shifting enough to not feel dragged out. At its core, it's rock—but not just one shade of it, you get everything from gritty, raw moments to more melodic and emotional stretches. The orchestral layers come in and out, adding this cinematic feel without overpowering the rock base. There’s a constant emotional movement that never stays in one zone for too long. Some moments feel loud, chaotic, almost unfiltered, while others slow down and hit a more reflective way. It genuinely feels like a rollercoaster, where you laugh in parts, sit with heavy emotions in others, and then suddenly find yourself vibing along.

It's the kind of album that makes you laugh, cry, dance through chaos, and still sit with the ups and downs after. Lyrically, it feels very autobiographical, like pieces of someone’s life laid out in the form of musical melodies.  Themes of struggle, memory, relationships, self-doubt, and survival keep showing up across the album. The ability of ReeToxA to literally keep you moving through phases of life, purely through the medium of music, is what I admire about this entire collection. Even without breaking down each song, you can feel that every track adds something to the bigger picture. Overall, “Soliloquy" feels like a long, personal release of everything the artist’s been holding in. It’s raw, ambitious, and stays with you even after it’s done.
