In 2022, there are a wide range of avenues to create a fanbase. For some, they’ve been making music for years, and they prefer to cultivate patiently it over time, while others prefer different ways. After graduating college, content creator Kadeli began making YouTube videos under the name Hipyo Tech, which resulted in him gaining a substantial audience on the platform. Due to always having a knack for musicality, he decided to utilize his fanbase to link with producer Forte and begin a musical career for himself, resulting in his first single reaching 100,000 listens on Spotify. Looking to take this a step further, he checks into our pages for the first time with his engaging new single, “Wake Up.”
Produced by Forte, “Wake Up,” is a somber, self-reflective track that finds Kadeli putting his sharp songwriting capabilities on full display. Starting the track out with the lines, “I don’t want you in my head, there I said it,” he immediately makes his intentions for the song known, telling an unknown lover that their presence is not appreciated. Throughout the rest of the record, he keeps this tone prevalent as he croons in a wistful tone about not being fit for this type of love, instead preferring some solace as he figures out what’s exactly right for him. In addition to the songwriting, he also displays a knack for pitch control, as his emotive vocals perfectly mesh with the ambient sounds provided by Forte throughout the entirety of the record.
The latest from Kadeli, “Wake Up” is a poignant, sentimental record containing subject matter many listeners will find highly relatable.
