The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions - Vegyn
Vegyn releases his emotionally rich sophomore album, The Road To Hell Is Paved With Good Intentions. Sublimely crafted songs each allow for a dose of human imperfection, wobbling on a tightrope between elation and eerie melancholia.
The record features guest contributions from John Glacier, Léa Sen, Matt Maltese, Lauren Auder, and Ethan P. Flynn, and is released through his own imprint, PLZ Make It Ruins.
Vegyn's shape-shifting musical output has often leaned towards excess, whether through collaborations with top rap and R&B artists like Frank Ocean, Travis Scott, and Kali Uchis, or by releasing extensive 70-track mixtapes, sharing fragments from his creative process. By contrast, this new album emerges from a space of free-flowing experimentation, with a lighter touch to the productions. His trademark flourishes and BPM changes take a backseat to melody and clear structure. As Vegyn himself puts it: “I’m just trying to make interesting songs - feeling was the focus.”
