Miami songwriter and composer Whilly Bermudez's new EDM single, “WHO ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE?” takes a big leap, and is less a club-thumping release and more an emotive checkpoint. It’s a song that meets you there, wherever that is, and somewhere between wanting to do something and not doing it, questioning yourself and doubting whether there really is a direct line to meaning.
Bermudez has a reputation for penning emotionally charged songs and for blending genres. He has brought this storytelling style to the electronic world without corrupting its soul. The pulsing beat is what makes the song work, but the introspective heart is what propels it. Rather than chase trends, Bermudez uses EDM to think about things, giving the listener time to ponder who they are, what they want to do, and what is true for them. "WHO ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE?" taps into a shared sensation many people seem to have these days: the need constantly to redefine ourselves, to keep up and be something more or something different. Bermudez doesn't make things easy. Instead, he puts the uncertainty there at the emotional center of the song, which is very relatable.
The single is included in the artist's new album "FLYING WITHOUT GRAVITY." It suggests he is unafraid of openness and will show us the breadth of his musical scope. The song bridges movement and meaning, coupling quick electronic beats with deep thought. This mix feels contemporary and ageless at once.
In “WHO ARE WE SUPPOSED TO BE?” Whilly Bermudez proves that electronic music can still ask big questions. Sometimes, the best songs are those that give you something to think about. It’s a fascinating chapter in his story, and it gives us a clear sense of what will happen next.
