Antonia XM x Kenji Araki presents: Breakfree
Blending indie with a contemporary electronic sound, “Breakfree” brings together Vienna-based Antonia XM, Kenji Araki and Danzinger99 and Amandus99 of NEUNUNDNEUNZIG. Built around a driving bassline and pulsing beats with sparkly, sentimental indie synth layers, the track leaves space for layered, emotional vocals from all four collaborators to unfold.
The lyrics move fluidly between English and German, with each artist bringing their own tone and perspective. Antonia XM leans into stargazing and escapism, touching on the idea of recognizing fear as something constructed and learning to move through it, while Danzinger99 and Amandus99 explore longing and emotional distance. Kenji Araki then ties these perspectives together with a quietly observant verse, focused on fleeting moments and unresolved thoughts.Across all vocal contributions, there is a shared sense of longing, an underlying search for a shifted perspective, for clarity within emotional blur.
The track keeps unfolding, light yet sentimental at once, carrying a beautifully nostalgic tone, simple yet textured, that moves naturally between moods and languages, introspective.
