"Drowning In The Shallows" is the first single off Choice’s part 2 of the “Elements" trilogy series. The song was created like most songs by Choice - a melodious riff sparking a moment of reflection, then a wave of catharsis. “Drowning” steers away from Choice’s EDM style that earned him international notoriety, laying heavy into hip-hop rhythms and melancholic lyrics. A running guitar riff swirls around a kick and snare as Choice steps in to share with you his deepest thoughts and feelings.

In the verses, like something straight out his diary, Choice reveals the vexed emotions he’s coping as he navigates through clashing realities. Enter the chorus, where he pleads for support when most have already turned their back. “Drowning In The Shallows” conveys the duality of our lives in multiple ways - pop-like catchiness paired with an emotive message, rap cadences sparing with soaring melodies, high-quality production from a bedroom studio, and many more examples you’ll discover on your own.
