Jauque X, 219Bendo & Stafford Beats - Kyoto

“Kyoto” is a hypnotic blend of melodies curated by Jauque X, 219Bendo and Stafford Beats. Cloud rap and hyper pop influences blend through the vibrant sounds of the song.

For Jauque X, this song follows “Only Option” his collab with Promoting Sounds and Taijitu. Jacque X has the first verse and chorus of “Kyoto”. Imagine if you were running from your own shadow only to reach a cliff. At the edge with one of two options: jump or fall asleep into the darkness. “Kyoto” is the fall after the jump.

Jauque X learns his self worth despite his heart aches. Because if he “gives it all he had” then no energy is wasted. Taking to heart the sentiment of anything after one’s own actions is what is meant to be. Through this he can start to heal even if the pain bleeds from his scab at time. Having to leave behind fake friends, the chorus sings about flying out to the city of Kyoto away from everyone holding you back.

219Bendo floats through the second verse of this song. Singing about relationship turmoil. Asking aloud how a love can “start so good” alluring and fulfilling your heart to “mentally abused”.  During certain flow switches, 219Bendo’s delivery is reminiscent of the artist Aries.

The instrumental is the true catalyst for both Jacque X and 219Bendo. Made by Stafford Beats, who’s production catalog also includes Paycheck, Jxve, Yellowpain and Trippie Red’s artist K Suave.

Stafford Beats starts the production on the song with soft guitar strums, only to drop with Jauque X’s first verse. The backbeat elevates both artist vocals throughout the entire song with no moments wasted. At times giving room for the artists to breathe. In other moments rising in intensity to match with their emotional vulnerability. The entire time providing an easily digestible and catchy beat for whoever stumbles across this song on your favorite playlists.
