Creative genius Ninemansion ventures into new territory with his latest album, "Kamioso: Ascended." At 17 songs and 41 minutes in length, it’s quite the follow-up to the Kamioso saga, an epic tale of heartbreak, rebirth and full-on transcendence. Inspired by Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, the record represents the anime’s development and theme of transformation, as personal turmoil transcends into a theatrical sprawl of determination and progression.
"Kamioso: Ascended" throws us deep into a trippy universe filled with futuristic traps, otherworldly synths, and dreamy melodies that defy the space-time continuum. Ninemansion oozes vulnerability and resilience in every verse, all while possessing a performance that’s both raw and ascendant. That feeling of change permeates every moment, anchoring the album in emotional honesty while lifting it up with visionary production.
Every track is like a window into an alternate state of being. Combining the gloomy melody of “Karma” with the explosive energy found in “Vortex,” Ninemansion achieves a balance few can between meaningful lyrics and futuristic production. Every sensible choice is made with purpose, resulting in a cohesive whole that is part anime-inspired narrative and part personal reflection. It is a sonic realm that hinges on duality: hurt and industry, darkness and light, past and future.
"Kamioso: Ascended" firmly establishes Ninemansion as an artist unafraid of blending raw emotion with experimentation. It’s an album that expands the very universe of what trap-influenced soundscapes can be: raw, cinematic and transformative. The album is both an extension and an expansion of Ninemansion's creative cosmos for fans who seek something a little more meaningful in their music.
