CHENZO V COMES TO TERMS WITH ALL OF HIS INFLUENCES IN HIS NEWEST SINGLE “STILLBIRTH”

If anyone were going to challenge the record for most genres packed into a single song, it might be Chenzo V. The New York–based artist is determined to honor every influence that’s shaped him. On his new single “Stillbirth,” he does exactly that. Dark and ambitious, the track throws electronics, rap, guitar, and industrial metal into a blender, landing somewhere between chaotic and cohesive. It’s a sound that feels both unfamiliar and oddly recognizable.

“Stillbirth” opens on the floor of a rave, driven by pulsing electronic energy that sets the mood immediately. From there, Chenzo shifts into rapid-fire rapping, but instead of locking into one beat, the track constantly evolves around him. He glides across changing rhythms and textures, maintaining a consistent flow as the music morphs beneath him. Eventually, everything converges into a crushing industrial metal section that ties the song’s many threads together before easing into a reflective, more introspective close.

The result is a genre-hopping journey that might completely confuse your streaming algorithm, but never feels disjointed. Alongside its core elements, “Stillbirth” weaves in traces of darkwave, goth, and even pop, creating a surprisingly balanced fusion. It’s an ambitious amalgam of styles that proves difference doesn’t have to mean division, and that when handled with intention, chaos can still make sense.
