BREATHE by Dark Fade Ricochet is an eclectic track combining a wide sonic range from drill style trap music to conscious hip-hop. The song revolves around the theme of adversity when pursuing a dream.
BREATHE invites the listener to not let their adversity beat them down, but rather welcome the uncertainties ahead with open arms. If life becomes more challenging, it simply means you leveled up. Dark Fade Ricochet hopes to encourage others to believe in themselves and pursue their goals regardless of what stands in their way.
