When Love Fades but They Still Stay: NETSKII’s “Zadykhayus” Hits Hard

The Moscow-based artist Aleх Kamenetsky has released his latest track, ”Zadykhayus” under his musical identity NETSKII. The first thing that stands out is how clearly he knows his sonic identity and how confidently he performs. There’s a cinematic depth in his sound—tight rhythms, soft but punchy kicks, and orchestral layers that feel like they belong in a soundtrack. His indie touch keeps his music modern while orchestral crescendos give it drama. Alex’s vocals feel sensitive and emotionally open, not overdone—just honest.

NETSKII

“NETSKII is carving his own lane with Symphonic Russian Pop that feels both intimate and cinematic.”

“Zadykhayus,” meaning “Can’t Breathe,” instantly pulled me in with that heartbeat and ticking clock. There’s a subtle but powerful way he builds tension in NETSKII’s music. The theme of betrayal hits hard with the pain of someone staying but no longer loving you feeling painfully real. The line about burning to ashes while they soar? That one lingers long enough. I really love the build-up into the synth-wave—the surge feels earned, not forced. The track genuinely feels like watching emotional breakdown unfold in slow motion.
