The song blends psychedelic guitar riffs with soulful grooves, creating a rich sound that feels both cinematic and intimate. The track pulses with a unique energy, driven by a steady rhythm that complements the hypnotic guitar work.

Lyrically, “Firebird” packs a punch with its political message, tackling the theme of political dishonesty and the manipulation of power.

The chorus acts as a call to action, encouraging listeners to reject the empty promises of those in power and to take control of the mess they leave behind. It’s a timely message, urging us to pay attention to actions over words and to hold those in power accountable for their choices. The combination of powerful lyrics and infectious grooves gives the song a sense of urgency, making it feel like more than just a track, but a movement.
This single follows the success of Perry’s debut album ‘Cinema 3000’, which established him as not just a talented producer but also a strong solo artist. With “Firebird”, Perry continues to refine his sound, blending cinematic elements with a deeper, more personal message. His ability to convey emotion through his music is evident, and this track proves he’s capable of creating music that resonates deeply with listeners. Whether you’re drawn in by the music, the message, or both, “Firebird” is a song that’s sure to stick with you long after it ends.
