While 2020 has most definitely not been kind on anyone, and quite frustrating and miserable for others, Italian duo Blacks0n have decided to channel the anger, frustration and overall unhappiness of the situation in a new single. “Unfocused” is out now worldwide, and you can stream it here.

The video was filmed while in lockdown, as Italy was, initially in the year, one of the hardest-hit countries when it came to the virus, so Andrea had to make do with what he had: a dark room. Ironically enough, that fit perfectly with the themes and vibes the song eventually ended up portraying.

“As humans we tend to think about concepts that are bigger than us, that we can’t grasp. And when we can’t fully understand them, we force them to fit our own vision, we humanize them and confine them into a box for our easier understanding. When things aren’t going the way they should, we always want to be the change, be superior, all-knowing and first in line, but we also don’t want to get our hands dirty so we don’t do anything to better our situation. We complain about that, end up bitter and tired, and don’t realize that we’re the reason for which things aren’t changing: virtuous thoughts and the will to change aren’t enough if we don’t act upon either, and we end up stuck in a vicious cycle. So, as the song says, we really are the creators of this plague”.
