Project XANOMAI
For “Xanomai” the two artists Hungrypanda and Aqual, deliver a song that’s as real as it gets. It’s about those moments when things feel like they’re slipping away, and the song captures that feeling perfectly.
“Hungrypanda and Aqual’s vocals the song is like a conversation about those times we all feel a bit out of control.”
- Visual Story: On the cover, two people stand before a doorway which is blasting light into the darkness. It’s like they’re on the edge, deciding whether to let go and see where the light takes them.
- Light vs Dark: The light and dark in the picture show the push-pull of feeling lost but still looking for a way out, just like the ups and downs in the song.
- Creative Angle: I wanted this image to really show what “Xanomai” feels like, but also to offer a glimpse of hope—that doorway of light, maybe it’s a way through the tough times.
- Feel the Music: This isn’t just a picture; it’s meant to get you to feel the song before you even listen to it. To remember that even when you’re losing it, there’s still a path forward.
- Making an Impression: The aim was for this cover to stand out when you’re scrolling through Spotify. For it to stick in your mind like the catchy tune and heartfelt words of “Xanomai.”

“The cover sets you up for the song’s experience. It’s about those “Xanomai” moments we all have and finding the music that helps us through. It’s about not just hearing the track, but feeling it, and maybe, just maybe, finding a bit of yourself in it too.”
