Single Review: Change Up by Tinyvix
By Vince Leigh (Pseudo Echo, John Farnham, Tina Arena)
Tinyvix (aka Afeez Babs) has released his latest track, Change Up. The multifaceted music artist has been releasing tracks since 2020, including the songs Love It (2020), On Me (2021) and Incredible (2022), each generating over 700k Spotify streams and attracting a loyal fan base and a notable online presence, proof of his creative and entrepreneurial ambitions and skills.
As part of Australia’s burgeoning rap slash hip-hop scene, Tinyvix’s work encompasses all the grit and allure of the genre yet contains a sheen of sophistication and a tonne of melodic flair. A stirring opening synth line introduces the track, setting the general tone and flavour and establishing an emotionally charged mood, enhanced by dynamics and Tinyvix’s integrating vocal. The production harnesses a host of contemporary textures, sounds, and rhythms but manages to imbue them with Tinyvix’s stylistic nuances.
When asked about the inspiration behind Change Up, Tinyvix says, ‘For me, I like positive energy, and that’s the kind of vibe you get from music. The message behind my new release is to do what you love, regardless, and don’t let anyone bring you down or tell you what you can or can’t. I wrote the lyric, so you know it’s straight from my heart, from experience, or what I’m currently going through.’
The lyric explores themes of defiance and self-preservation, and it’s evident that Tinyvix’s music connects with many worldwide. As he says, ‘I get messages from people all around the world about how much they loved my sound, artist, and producers wanting to collaborate, being invited to perform at gigs, and working with others in the creative industry.’
Change Up will attract radio and streaming attention, boosting his profile and presence on the Australian music scene. As he says about what he wants his music to achieve, ‘I hope that someday my music brings joy to many all around the world. I hope to be able to help other upcoming artists reach their goals.’
