Melbourne-based experimental artist Genevieve Sovereign has dropped a tantalizing new single, “Square Root -1,” and it’s a mind-bending ride through spacey beats, deep thought, and transcendental lyricism. From the moment the track opens, you know you’re not stepping into ordinary musical territory—this is a glimpse into the artist’s ongoing album project, STARSEEDS WANTED: enquire within, which promises even more cosmic brilliance.
“Square Root -1” isn’t your usual electronic track. Sovereign weaves her spoken-word delivery seamlessly through a web of haunting, interdimensional beats. It’s atmospheric and cerebral, with a steady pulse that anchors the listener in a strange but captivating sonic landscape. The production, handled by Deece at Omni-hieroglyphic, gives the single a textured depth that keeps evolving the more you listen. It’s got the kind of replay value that makes you want to dive in again and again, each time unearthing new layers.
Lyrically, Sovereign takes us on a metaphysical journey that will have you questioning the nature of reality, with themes of alternate dimensions, existential quandaries, and cosmic truths. But despite the heavy subject matter, the track feels playful and light, almost like she’s inviting you to get lost in these mind-bending concepts with a knowing wink.
The beats themselves have a cosmic quality—pulsating rhythms and swirling ambient textures that feel like they’re coming from another galaxy. Yet, there’s an undercurrent of danceable energy that subtly propels the track forward, making it perfect for both introspective listening and late-night electronic sets.
For fans of experimental sounds, boundary-pushing spoken word, and cosmic electronic beats, “Square Root -1” is a thrilling preview of what’s to come from Genevieve Sovereign’s forthcoming LP. Expect this track to be a slow-burn favorite in your playlist.
