On Rotation: Xy Gala "Lifeless Life"
Xy Gala dropped his highly anticipated single, "Lifeless Life," on March 21, 2025. After dedicating more than a year to learning music production, mixing, and mastering, the release is a milestone moment in his artistic career.
The movie delves into the psychological burden of modern times, diving into drudgery, loneliness, and inner turmoil of meeting inner aspirations and external obligations. Based on his personal life as an artist struggling to be heard in a corporate world while starting fresh with a family, Xy Gala builds an extremely human story that resonates with all whose spirit has ever been shattered by the drudgery of life.
"This is a very personal song. It's a song about the pull of wanting to pursue your dreams and do your duties. It's a sad song, but it's also a celebration of the release of the complexity of things," says Xy Gala.
Over 100,000 Spotify streams, Xy Gala has built a low-profile reputation as a go-to artist for raw, introspective material. "Lifeless Life" is his best work yet, marrying narrative-driven lyrics with a positive sense of grime. Cinematic tension, hooky melodies, and free-wheeling lyrics are married together to provide a microcosm for humanity's yearning for meaning in an ever-accelerating, always-on world.
With Xy Gala venturing even further into the realms of creativity, "Lifeless Life" stands testimony to how well he is able to portray life incidents through lyrics that are relatable. The album is a promise of him as a new artist who writes with his heart and in sincerity.
