Waxman’s latest single, “Harmless,” lands with intention. It’s precise in its build, measured in its movement, and surprisingly stripped-down in all the right ways. The Canadian producer trims the fat here, no wasted space, no empty flare, just clean melodic phrasing, vocal chops that slip in and out with ease, and a rhythmic core that pulls everything forward.
The single moves with confidence. Its structure is tight without feeling stiff – the opening hook lays the foundation, but what unfolds is far from predictable. Layers develop without clutter, each shift intentional, and every sonic choice serves the whole. There’s a cohesion here that reflects a maturing artist finding his footing.
The growth of Waxman is evident not just in sound, but in mindset. In a recent Magnetic Magazine interview, Waxman shared his approach to finishing music: “When I stop tweaking and it still holds up after a few weeks away, that’s when I know it’s done.” That philosophy shines through in “Harmless,” where everything feels settled, deliberate, and free of second-guessing.
It’s been a strong stretch for Waxman, who’s steadily self-releasing tracks that favor feel over formula. His refusal to bend to genre expectations is becoming part of his signature. “Artists should stop trying to follow trends and just focus on their own instincts,” he said in the same interview—and that instinct is working. “Harmless” earns your attention.
