Shane Eagle emerges as a pioneer for the future of entertainment with his latest visual offering titled “Xenergy: The Final Saga”. As the owner and founder of an independent record label, Shane Eagle teams up with a talented group of young artists, graphic designers and filmmakers, who have dedicated their time and energy to create this inner world experience.
A selection of “fan favorite” tracks have been singled out from the acclaimed mixtape DarkMoonFlwr to compile a series of Live Performances that has been built on the anticipation for a “Shane Eagle – DarkmoonFlwr Tour”, initially planned for this year. The compilation of performances have been structured as Visual Album to premiere exclusively on Apple Music as an extended narrative to Shane’s interview on “Rap Life” with their very own Beats 1 Radio host Ebro Darden.
The compilation consists of 7 Live Performances that take place in a simulated world herein referred to as “Xenergy”. According to the artist, “Xenergy” is described as “a meditative space in time, which prevails in the mind state of one who has found a balance between chaos and peace”. Each of the songs is thus performed in a different scenario, drawn from the archive of his memories of feeling a sense of loss, pain, hope, inspiration, and gratitude – all expressed in the making of DarkMoonFlwr.
Representing his family at Ellesse, Shane Eagle is seen wearing a special costume (or “spacesuit”) decorated with custom-painted video game character badges, who have inspired and informed his artistic development since his early childhood days. It is in this way that the notion of him traveling through the past, present, and future versions of his reality is conveyed in the appropriate attire.
The first focal track to be shared from the playlist (2nd October) is “Up 1” Ft. Lute which was created as an expression for the loss of a loved one that occurred while Shane was on his first European tour with Bas from Dreamville early last year. The expression of “Up 1” therefore presents the idea of turning your losses into victories and is especially relevant in a time where loss has been the common experience for 2020. More optimistically, the second focal track “Whispering to the Moon” Ft. The Hics (9th October) presents the idea of hope, where the artist is depicted confiding in the moon/universe for signs of a greater purpose behind the pain one can experience and reinstates the importance of protecting your energy throughout any difficulty.
The full visual album drops on the 16th of October which falls on the 1 year anniversary of DarkMoonFlwr. As an incentive to reveal a teaser for his upcoming body of work, Shane Eagle has included one unreleased song titled “Racks Talk” prod. by Gemini Maejor in “Xenergy” for his fans to enjoy as he enters the next phase of his career.
