STARFIRE is the perfect introduction to Isaac Saenz’s project gettinga.life. The lushly refreshing offering comes alive with this euphoric synth-pop gem that commands our full attention from the start and keeps it till the finish.
This vibey track from the West Texas artist melds beautifully with synths, intimate vocals, and warm melodies.
Isaac explains: “The song is about wanting to run away with your unrequited love painted with synths and melancholy vocals. Definitely, a song you’d drive into the sunset if you ever get to.”
On the recording of STARFIRE he shares: “I recorded my vocals in my old bedroom at my mom’s house when I temporarily moved back during the pandemic – he adds – I recorded STARFIRE in my bedroom and ColorMind produced the instrumental. I also had help with the lyrics from Vincent Ernst who happens to be the synth player in Magnolia Park.”
gettinga.life has been creating music since 2017 with influences including: Blackbear, Tory Lanez, Mike., Mike Posner, Xxxtentacion, lil peep, the 1975, Drake, Some, Machine Gun Kelly, Juice Wrld, Brevin Kim, Post Malone, Chase Atlantic, Joji.
After studying music intermittently for years, gettinga.life went to Fullsail and received a Bacholors of Science in Music Production. There, he recorded other artists and used his experience to build his own music style. Stream the track on Spotify and Soundcloud and listen below.
