Rafael Domingos releases single “Escape” warming up for first album

Singer-songwriter Rafael Domingos releases his new single, “Escape”, which will be part of “Side A” of his debut album, encapsulating all the pop essence of this initial phase. The track emerged from an intense creative process, originating in the midst of personal sorrows and conflicts. Rafael describes “Escape” as an expression of resilience in the face of a painful end of a cycle.

“Understanding that nurturing harmful relationships is like trying to fill broken vessels. In environments where our value is not recognized, our affection and presence should not be offered. The composition reflects on relationships that raise ‘red flags’ and alert us to behaviors that require our attention and distance”, he explains.

The song addresses deep and current themes, from toxic relationships to the need to move away from harmful situations. The song stands out for its bass line and the use of synthesizers, which grow from the first seconds, creating a hypnotic atmosphere that invites the listener on an introspective journey.

With a sound based on contemporary national pop, the track captivates with the energy transmitted and the powerful message of autonomy and self-sufficiency. “The song exudes freedom, assertiveness and determination, even at the end of a cycle, whatever the type of interpersonal relationship, but always prioritizing self-respect over emotions. I see it as an alert song, with a created scenario for the relationship between lyrics and instrumental – from alarms going off to metallic sounds and other hidden effects”, comments Rafael.

The creation process was a true emotional exorcism, according to the artist himself. Written in just one day, each verse of the song brings up personal issues that Rafael needed to externalize. “My creative process is often born out of crises or very intense feelings – whether it’s an outburst or a celebration – and ends up being a very therapeutic process. It’s liberating.”

Closing the entire creative cycle, the single cover (above) also carries a significant emotional charge for Rafael. Inspired by Madonna’s Copacabana show, he found the clarity he needed to resume his self-expression. According to him, the event sparked several reflections that helped him create and photograph a cover that connects with the idea of ​​”Escape”.

“As an artist, I always want to convey the message of freedom and personal power, so that people can freely express themselves as they identify,” he concludes.
