Reetoxa's new album, "Soliloquy," is a big double album that took years of planning, hard work, and creative rebuilding to make. The record has 26 songs and lasts for 1 hour and 25 minutes. It looks like it was made to be immersive, which makes you want to sit with it instead of rushing through it. The album, which features Jason McKee and was made with producer Simon Moro, combines orchestral depth with songwriting that tells a story that has been going on for a long time, starting in the late 1990s. The song "Soliloquy" doesn't stick to one emotional theme. Instead, it goes through different moods and memories, letting us experience different parts of life with the artist. The project has a lot of European orchestral sounds and a lot of different styles, which makes it feel like you should pay close attention to it. This makes us want to sit back and look at the scale as something that was planned and carefully made.
The highlighted part of "INSATIABLE" starts with a strong sense of urgency and clear melody that makes it clear how personal this project is meant to be. The song has a good mix of fast and slow parts that make us feel closer to each other instead of pushing us apart. "AKAROA" comes from that intensity in a way that makes sense. It adds to the mood by making it sound more reflective and giving the impression of distance, which makes you think of memory and travel and shapes the album's story. As the mood gets darker, "BOTTLE" shifts the focus to vulnerability. It captures a more subdued internal struggle that feels real and grounded without losing the richness of the orchestra around it. The change in texture from "THRIFT SHOP DRESS" is lighter but still well thought out. It adds warmth and character details that help us connect with the human stories that are at the heart of the album. To wrap things up, "THE LISA SONG" slows things down a bit and adds emotional weight with its personal tone. This gives us a moment that feels real and makes us think. It also makes us feel like each song is a piece of a bigger story about us.
The emotional thread continues in "TIMOR LESTE," which gives the album a stronger sense of place and point of view. The arrangement feels big and important, as if it has experiences that go beyond the person but are still connected to the album's reflective core. After that, "SCHITZO WALTZ" changes the mood and structure in a way that is unexpected. Its unique rhythm sets it apart and backs up the idea that "Soliloquy" is meant to show many different feelings, not just one. The progression moves smoothly into "YOU DESERVE BETTER THAN ME," which ends this highlighted sequence with a strong sense of honesty and emotional clarity. The song sounds like a quiet confession that comes at just the right time in the album's journey. It provides us time to think about the themes of growth, regret, and self-awareness that run through the whole project. Reetoxa's choices show how "Soliloquy" is a very personal piece of music. It is shaped not only by the desire to play in an orchestra but also by the desire to share experiences that stay with you long after the last note has been played.
