Tillmans’ recent songs evoke a poignant blend of joy and heartbreak amidst scenes of both ruin and renewal, defiantly embracing the uncertainty of an ambiguous future. From lush, drumless instrumentals to pulsating dance beats, the album showcases a diverse range of musical styles, all anchored by Tillmans’ emotive voice. Whether growling with defiance or singing with delicate vulnerability, his vocals serve as the album’s emotional backbone.

In tracks like ‘Grune Linien’, Tillmans chants a mantra of resilience, declaring, “for when I’m weak I’m strong,” amidst a backdrop of driving percussion. Even in seemingly assertive songs such as ‘We Are Not Going Back’, his delivery carries a subtle vulnerability, transforming the title into a rallying cry against regression.

‘Regratitude’ further exemplifies Tillmans’ nuanced approach, juxtaposing tension-filled lyrics with pulsating synth arpeggios, stripping away familiar sounds to reveal deeper layers of meaning. Throughout the album, Tillmans explores themes of desire and connection, both overtly and indirectly, amidst an ever-changing landscape.

His exploration extends beyond mere musicality; Tillmans delves into the complexity of language and communication, challenging listeners to consider multiple interpretations in an era fraught with uncertainty and regression. In essence, his work is a testament to the power of resilience and the enduring human spirit in the face of adversity.
