Gabriel Munoz’s “Fake Highs” is a haunting and introspective track that showcases the singer/songwriter’s talent and emotional depth. The song’s ethereal production and soothing melodies create a reflective atmosphere that encourages the listener to take a deep dive into their own thoughts and feelings. The lyrics, which touch on the challenges of life and our tendency to cope in unhealthy ways, are relatable and therapeutic. Gabriel’s powerful vocals and candid storytelling make “Fake Highs” a standout track and a must-listen for fans of introspective pop music. The timely release of the song, just as the world looks ahead to a new year, makes it an especially relevant and poignant listen.
From a purely sonic perspective, ‘Fake Highs’ is just addictive as hell. There’s a spark in the arrangement, a catchiness in the chorus that has you singing it in your head again and again. ‘I get off on fake highs’ starts rolling in my head as I prepare to indulge in those very same debaucheries that Munoz is decrying. Ironic? Perhaps. A bop nevertheless? Undoubtedly.
