Hazel Halle releases "Rock Mantis Shrimp"

Out October 31st, "Rock Mantis Shrimp" marks a new chapter in Hazel Halle’s artistic journey, blending soul, introspection, and emotional dissonance into a hypnotic experience. The track delves into inner misalignment: grappling with one’s darker side, disillusionment in love, and the inescapable inevitability of truth, all layered over a lush, dark, and immersive production.

The title references the "Rock Mantis Shrimp", a small marine creature capable of perceiving colors invisible to the human eye, symbolizing the gift — and burden — of heightened perception. The acronym "RMS", echoing historical ship prefixes, evokes a mental voyage into the depths of the mind, a space where reason and madness coexist and truth awaits acknowledgment.

The song is simultaneously romantic and tragic, a confrontation with oneself that is too lucid to be naive, yet too human to stop dreaming. Halle navigates the paradox of self-awareness: knowing that self-delusion is a choice, yet indulging in it as the only refuge.

With "Rock Mantis Shrimp", Hazel Halle reaffirms her ability to transform introspection into sonic art, fusing poetry and chaos into a hypnotic, experimental soul that is deeply human.
