Lil Nas X, “STAR WALKIN’”

Reading Time: 2 min read

Grammy-winning pop artist Lil Nas X delivers another intriguing record with “STAR WALKIN’ (League of Legends Worlds Anthem).”

“Don’t ever say it’s over if I’m breathin’ / Racin’ to the moonlight and I’m speedin’ / I’m headed to the stars, ready to go far / I’m star walkin’.” Woo! Indeed, 🎙 Lil Nas X, indeed! The 🏆 Grammy-winning pop artist continues his impressive run of hits with 🎵 “STAR WALKIN’ (League of Legends Worlds Anthem)”. What’s a bit different about this LNX single? Well, it’s video game-influenced

Inspired by League of Legends driving “STAR WALKIN’,” Lil Nas X remains true to himself. He sounds amazing on the melodic chorus, which appears at the top of the track. The chorus is the centerpiece – tuneful and ear-catching. Similarly, in the verses, he bestows his gift of melody. That said, in the second verse, he provides contrast providing more edge and slightly less pitch (“Been that nigga since I came out my mama (Woo) / Thankin’ God Daddy never wore a condom (Woo) / Prove ‘em wrong every time ‘til it’s normal / Why worship legends when you know that you can join ‘em?”). Besides electrifying lyrics, the production (🎛 Cirkut and 🎛 Omer Fedi) deserves a big-time shout-out. Those lovely, rhythmic synths that commence the record are sickening. Furthermore, how about that drill beat, which first appears during the first verse? Epic!

Final Thoughts 💭

Bitmoji Image Does Lil Nas X make bad songs? The answer is a resounding, hell no, he does not! 🎵 “STAR WALKIN’ (League of Legends Worlds Anthem)” is another welcome addition to his collection. It’s well-produced and well-performed, and the concept is interesting. Is this a game changer? No, but hey, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

It’s not a good song for what it was supposed to be for. It’s not just a regular song to be released but supposedly an anthem to bring excitement for the 2022 LOL world championships. It failed.
