Jose Not José dives headfirst into emotional turbulence with his latest release, “Samsara”, a track named after the Buddhist concept of the wandering soul caught in a cycle of suffering and rebirth. True to its title, the song explores the disorienting blur of internal conflict and relationship strain, wrapped in an experimental flow that mirrors the chaos of its themes. It's a personal, almost stream-of-consciousness unraveling that doesn’t shy away from the messiness of growth.
“Samsara” pulls you into a layered sonic world, where distorted memories and late-night thoughts collide over hypnotic production. The delivery is fragmented, urgent, and deliberately repetitive, capturing the way thoughts loop during emotional overwhelm. Jose Not José uses this stylistic choice not only to drive the mood but also to reflect the cyclical nature of doubt, detachment, and trying to find clarity in the noise.
There’s a rawness to the way he presents himself as unguarded and imperfect. The vocals shift between spoken word, melodic rap, and impassioned bursts, building a tension that never fully releases. Instead of providing resolution, “Samsara” leans into the instability, offering a portrait of someone who’s painfully aware of their unraveling but still pushing forward through the fog.
“Samsara” isn’t polished for perfection; it’s real, reflective, and deeply human. In embracing the confusion, he's created a song that resonates with anyone who's ever felt lost in the loop.
