Sebastian Schaffer's "Mutual Feeling, is taking you on a journey between hope and strength.

In the title track, "Mutal Feeling," a song that suggests man and woman are fighting spirits to escape the circular way of life and find their homeport, is illustrated by talented German singer-songwriter & producer Sebastian Schaffer. Well beyond a track, this is quite an emotional pilgrimage of feeling trapped and never giving up. In a space where singles arrive and disappear, none are as literal or empathetic to the listener experience in its kinetics and focal point than 'Mutual Feeling.

Spinning you around immediately, those glowing chords in "Mutual Feeling" puzzle together, creating the richest pop-rock thud that permeates Muse-like stadium rock, with banging guitars like chicken wire, threadbound by enjoyable, vibrant elements akin to a Royal Republic level of melody. This is what I am trying to say here. At the center of his delivery, Schaffer possesses a naturally smooth fragility as it transitions from an inner-feather-like falsetto to more powerhouse notes. This paves the way for pop music that sounds familiar yet refreshingly fresh and creative, and proves to be an unexpectedly complex listen.

The hook "I toss a coin to pick my emotion" is an expression of the emotional darts most people throw about in the dark chaos, feeling far too much and looking for where one fits/which direction one's affection crawls. A meta-ironic anthem for a generation hopelessly adrift in the noise and the bullshit of fake it till you make it, searching for something pure and unedited.

Since making his debut in 2022, the Berlin-raised Sebastian has been building a reputation as an indie pop artist with introspective lyrics and production centered on pure emotion. On "Mutual Feeling," he reasserts himself as the kind of artist not afraid to explore deep complexities, both in terms of lyrics and soundscape. With Sebastian Schaffer as a reminder, for some, those journeys are the hardest, as we must fight from within, but trying is where hope lies and where it wins.
