Phoric’s Single “Source” Delivers a Lush, Groove-Heavy Anthem of Resilience and Self-Discovery
Miami-based artist Phoric’s new single, “Source,” is a lush iteration of resilience, renewal and the search for meaning set to his groove-heavy, alt-pop sound. Dripping in a cool but comfortable assurance, with velvety vocals and dreamy melodic sweep, the song has the kind of hypnotic hustle as Drake’s “Hold On, We’re Going Home” — but with a twist, as Phoric infuses his sound with his own brand of introspection and fun to get people on their feet.
Lyrically, “Source” captures the uncertainty of trying to navigate the turbulence of life — illness and heartbreak, and the onslaught of time — but hanging onto the sole thing that provides a constant: a presence, a force, a source. The verses wander in disorienting spaces — “I don’t know where to go / I don’t know if it’s home”— evoking a sense of emotional limbo. On top of that, the chorus erupts with assurance — “Ooo, I know that it’s you keeping me alive.” — It’s a potent contrast of fragility and determination, seamlessly magnified by the track’s throbbing bass line and ambient synths.
The production is a lesson in subtle sophistication, with warm, analog-inspired textures, crisp percussion and an infectious groove that allows for both introspection and movement. The vocal delivery — drenched in warmth and just the right amount of melancholy — float like an afterthought over the instrumental but make every line feel both personal and able to be related to everyone.
If you're looking for a song that hits the sweet spot between the groove and the deep, then look no further than “Source”.
