Alexei Sashcov is set to entertain audiences with his latest single, “Horoscope,” a playful yet introspective track from his album, “Happy & Unsafe.” Inspired by the common practice of looking to horoscopes for guidance, Sashcov’s new single offers a satirical take on how people use zodiac signs to justify their actions, all while reflecting on his own journey as an Aries.
“Horoscope,” set to be released on June 21st, samples Sal Houdidi’s track of the same name, adding a personal touch to Sashcov’s rendition. Known for blending various genres, Sashcov transitions from his usual Rock and EDM Pop to a unique mix of R&B/reggaeton Pop reminiscent of the late ’90s. This shift in style aligns with the broader sonic palette of his upcoming album, “Happy & Unsafe,” which explores themes of resilience and personal growth through a diverse musical lens.
Alexei Sashcov shared the story behind “Horoscope,” explaining how the song originated around his birthday in April. “I was just trying to make fun of people who reach for their horoscopes to justify their actions instead of reading it and moving in a direction convenient for them,” he says. The track not only pokes fun at this behavior but also serves as a means for Sashcov to ponder what his upcoming year might hold.
The creative process for “Horoscope” was a memorable one, especially for Sashcov, who had the opportunity to connect with one of his favorite artists, Sal Houdidi. “It was pretty cool—Houdidi liked it,” Sashcov notes, highlighting the collaboration’s personal significance. The song features reimagined elements from Houdidi’s original, with Sashcov adding his own twist to the chorus and incorporating Houdidi’s verse flow into the bridge.
As Sashcov wraps up the final recordings for “Happy & Unsafe,” he continues to receive positive feedback on the tracks released so far, including the singles “Happy & Unsafe” and “Trauma.” Known for his honest storytelling and vulnerability, Sashcov’s music consistently offers a perspective of resilience, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique paths and strive towards their goals.
With “Horoscope,” Alexei Sashcov invites fans to reflect on their own lives while enjoying a fresh and dynamic sound. The single is a testament to his ability to blend humor with deeper reflections, making it a standout addition to his growing discography.
