Robin Cisek – Zeus (2022)
Using the mythical figure of Zeus, Robin Cisek considers how the contradictions of a personality can create harmful and toxic relationships. In the aptly titled single ‘Zeus’, she looks at the relationship and violent choices of the Greek god, while playfully pointing out the inconsistencies and contradictions of his portrayal. While focusing on this ancient god, she offers something a little closer to home and may just have you looking at those around you a little differently.
The first single release since her debut album, this track furthers the sound she unleashed, with some upbeat vibes, stacked harmonies and playful lyrics. Drawing on her own thoughts about Zeus, Cisek turns her understanding into something that we can all connect with. After years of struggling with health problems, she moved into her musical career, blending alternative sounds with her experiences and heritage to create something wonderfully new.
The electronic warbles that open ‘Zeus’ catch your attention and draw you into the single. These tones drop for a moving deep beat that taps against the back of your brain. Through the verses, the melody is quite light, allowing Cisek’s vocals to shine, before rising for an upbeat almost dance vibe on the chorus. Throughout the single, the music packs an upbeat punch that fills your senses with sunlight. The flow of the chorus has a lot of different layers coming together for a bubbling sound that fizzles against your skin, taking you higher and higher. It is a really polished melody that perfectly matches the playful vocals, the upbeat vibes and the contemplations of the lyrics.
While the melody has you moving to its upbeat vibe, it is Cisek’s vocals that are the real star of the show. Her voice slides over the deep beats with a really smooth melodic flow that is like a siren’s call. She effortlessly pulls you into the contemplation of Zeus and the contradictions of his moral compass and choices. As the melody rises on the chorus, her voice joins a stacked harmony that is bounced off the bursts of music. Her performance takes the upbeat vibes of the single to another dimension. The lyrics are a lot of fun to listen to as she connects with the mythical figure, while playfully pointing out all the issues with him. The contemplations are undeniably catchy and you may just find yourself singing along to the chorus.
Upbeat, playful yet contemplative, ‘Zeus’ by Robin Cisek will have you moving to the catchy rhythm while considering contradictions and their effects on relationships. The melody brings the upbeat vibes to the single with a bounce, particularly in the chorus. It is Cisek’s vocals that really make the single as she draws you into her consideration of Zeus, while getting you moving with a sing-along chorus.
