Artist Highlight: Notbrax

Notbrax’s “Dancing on Fire” drifts between R&B and pop, a light yet emotionally charged track that captures the ache of longing for someone you can no longer have. The song feels like a dream–soft, hazy, and melancholic–as Notbrax navigates the strange emptiness left in his lover’s absence. His home, once a place of comfort, has become an unfamiliar space, somewhere he’s not familiar. He’s trapped, surrounded by memories that no longer bring warmth but a discomfort he can’t shake.

The lyric “It’s not right with my soul, it hasn’t been in her heart lately” paints a picture of his happiness tied to hers. Without her love, his sense of self feels unstable, like an old bridge you would be unwise to traverse. It’s that creeping feeling–like sensing an illness before the symptoms fully take hold. Something is off, but he can’t quite name it. 

The music mirrors this emotional weight. A steady beat pulses along, grounding the track while airy synth chords float above it, casting a glow. The instrumentation is restrained, never overpowering, but instead shaping the mood–a backdrop that lets Notbrax’s voice and lyrics take centre stage. Every element works together to create a song that feels deeply personal like a late-night confession whispered into the dark.
