Lucius Arthur releases chaotic, upbeat alt-pop song “Humans.” It can be hard to not care about what others think, but Lucius is taking a stand on societal hypocrites. In order to take the power back in your life, you have to simply do what’s best for you and not let outside voices sway your intentions. People are going to judge you regardless, so you might as well go out swinging. Being unapologetically yourself is immensely brave, and as terrifying as it can seem, it is the only way to set yourself free from naysayers and self-doubt. A lot of humans judge you outwardly for the same things they hold internally. Projection is a dime a dozen these days, so instead of letting someone else’s judgment taint your self-introspection, take it with a grain of salt, and continue living your life the way it fulfills you. Growing up, it can seem like a competition for who can have the most people at their birthday parties, but as you get older and wiser, a shrinking circle is a sign of maturity and realizing quantity is overrated, and quality is something to hold tight. You’re never going to please everybody, and someone will always have something to say, so you might as well give them something to talk about.
“Humans” is the first single off of Lucius Arthur’s debut album, A Violent Dichotomy. This labor of love is infused with high energy and chaotic ethos of the screams and emo music reminiscent of the San Diego music scene from Lucius’ adolescence. A Violent Dichotomy combines his mother’s love of American R&B, his father’s affinity for British pop and rock music, and his unrestricted access to every genre of music at his fingertips with YouTube and online streaming. This project has aesthetic ties to sci-fi films and anime. His music is self-proclaimed "progressive alien deathcore.” The most meaningful part of creating music is using his talent to enable a path to self-discovery for his listeners and the global awareness of our world that comes with that. Lucius Arthur uses his music to address the themes of identity, free will, and truth, and “Humans” questions those social constructs and age-old philosophies.
