Stretching the confines of genre, with influences from alt-pop, rock and hip-hop, Viisi released his new single, i left my hometown, about making the jump from comfort into oblivion to chase down your dreams.
Exploding with buzzing electric riffs, eruptive vocals, and dynamic beats, i left my hometown hits like an adrenaline high you’d get from a motorcycle ride into the sunset – out of your old life and into a new era.
