Empty Chair Tonight

Dark ambient rap with sparse halftime drums, low sub swells, distant tape hiss, and a cold piano loop that drifts like a memory fading in and out; verses stay close-mic and intimate with dry lead vocals, doubled whispers on key lines, and a sung hook on stacked harmonies. Pre-chorus opens with reversed pads and a thin riser, chorus lands in a hollow, roomy space with soft gang vocal echoes, and the bridge strips to voice, hum, and room tone before the final lift. Smoky, wide, and bruised in the mix., ambient, rap, dark ambient
