Audius’ “Trigger” Ricochets Between Desire And Destruction

You can’t go wrong with music that feels like a dual experience: sometimes painful, sometimes unexpectedly bright. Audius carries that exact energy with his latest single “Trigger”.

Audius isn’t exactly new in the scene, offering his range from Urban to Amapiano and countless production collaborations with emerging artists. But even with over 20 years of experience, you’ll see an artist who never fails to reinvent himself without losing his own stylistic sound and identity.

First, let’s talk about the bouncy and infectious rhythm on Trigger’s surface, the kind that you’ll want to hear windows down on a spontaneous road trip. It’s playful, bright, with a distinct sound of rush you’ll only get from knowing you’re really down bad. But there’s more than just its catchy hooks and beats. Audius sneaks in lines that echoes betrayal and trauma when you lose your guard.

You’ll notice a static in between once you’re done nodding along. Audius’ vocals ricochet off the arrangement, refusing to settle down with a hint of restlessness. Each line points to peak spiraling moment and the endless push and pull. It’s almost like running forward despite knowing you’ll hit the concrete face first because of its aching familiarity.

All in all, Audius’ Trigger is the fickle nature of love—it’s desire and destruction tangled in the same loop, the one that will either be a spark or a trigger pulled to tear you wide open.
