The Mysterious G Shines with Resilience in “Through It All”
With “Through it all,” Christian Gustafsson, aka The Mysterious G, delivers an emotionally charged synth-pop anthem that’s as fast-paced and personal as it is resonating for many listeners. Residing in Los Angeles, superbeekn, Gustafsson creates a rich sound with plush forms of electronic textures and vulnerable indie pop vocals, reminiscent of acts such as M83 and CHVRCHES. What makes this track different from the others is its raw authenticity. It is a song, but also a powerful documentation of performance.
“Through it all” was written as a personal reflection about his own struggle, specifically education, rising from dialysis. The anthem is one of strength and survival, the production is smooth, cinematic, which allows the track to pleasantly sweep you up in soaring synths and further drives the point home with its lush synths, but decidedly the beat keeps hope glam. This chorus felt like a breakthrough moment, bright, that was anthemic in its delivery in the sense that it feels celebratory, empowering.
This is not only music, but emotional storytelling, and it would be hard to find another artist who can take hardship and turn it into harmony as he does in this release. Its experience has already built this to make the listener more powerful and more engaging streaming collegiate involvement, but also be it of composition. Has “Through it all” helped to navigate another hot mile higher, becoming a factor in the trajectory of where anything formerly modest is heading in The Mysterious G’s career.
