"Immortal" by Aloe Blacc and 2ŁØT is an electrifying pop anthem about approaching life with a strong stance. The song is rooted in the philosophical concept, memento mori. This phrase, meaning “remember you must die,” serves as a reminder not to take life for granted, because nobody lives forever. The lyrics influence listeners to reflect on how they are living their lives and reevaluate their actions. Are they being their true self? Are they holding back due to fear? Is there anything they would like to change? Blacc and 2ŁØT encourage their listeners to live like they are immortal. Live life without fear and break through the anxieties that may be holding you back. Paired with the powerful production, “Immortal” is an inspiring track that instantly lifts the listener’s spirits.

Blacc’s compelling voice and 2ŁØT’s infectious soundscapes blend to craft a perfect pop song. The bright production is reminiscent of EDM legends such as Avicii and Calvin Harris, while upholding both Blacc and 2ŁØT’s unique talents. The song begins with a soothing guitar riff and muffled synth sounds that set the effervescent atmosphere. After a few measures, the soft bass beats and Blacc’s incredible voice kick in, instantly impressing the listener. As the song builds, the production showcases a very rich and full dynamic, emphasizing the song’s powerful message. “Immortal” is a flawless track with impeccable instrumentation and clever lyrics, making listeners crave another collaboration from the talented duo.
