Xxjaswani – Isolated (2022)

There are times when you just need to listen to a song that is so chill you can’t help but feel relaxed by the end. Fortunately, this is exactly what Xxjaswani has to offer with his single ‘Isolated’. The instrumental track is packed with chill lo-fi tones that range from jazz to hip-hop beats, fused together for a relaxing and slightly nostalgic listening experience.

Drawing on a range of simplistic elements, Xxjaswani brings them together for a relaxing vibe that has you shedding all the stress of the day and feeling lighter for having heard the single. Since he started making lo-fi beats in 2019, he has released a mixtape packed with calming atmospheric tones. Adding flashes of old-school funk, soul and jazz to his lo-fi tones, he brings a new flair to chilled vibes.



‘Isolated’ sets the chilled tone of the track from the first moment, with a delicate piano line. This piano line gains a jazzy flair as the hip-hop beats rise from beneath. There is a wonderful combination of jazz and hip-hop through the melody that has you relaxing, while simultaneously tapping to the rhythm. Through all of this, the chilled vibes of the music slowly make their way into your senses, lifting stress and worries from your muscles. You can feel yourself gently move to the music while also sinking into the softness that it has to offer. This is a wonderful combination of feelings that eases the tension off your shoulders and makes you feel at peace with yourself.

You can clearly hear the different influences in the melody as the piano flows from jazzy vibes to an almost classical flair. The hip-hop beats that rest below have a steady movement to them that propels the music forward, creating a sense of motion. Woven into all of this is the chill sensibilities of lo-fi that get you floating along the soundscape. While the single is just under 2 minutes, it does feel much shorter because of the immersive movement of the sound. This is easily a song that you can have on repeat as you sink into the calming vibes to unwind or provide some background sound as you go about your day.

Xxjaswani brings a jazzy flair to hip-hop beats and lo-fi vibes to relax your muscles and calm your senses in ‘Isolated’. The piano line offers the jazzy flair, while the lower beats propel you with a hip-hop vibe. Through all of this, chilled vibes sink into your soul through the lo-fi wash that covers the entire single.
