There’s something inherently theatrical about Weaux’s pop vision, a sense of spotlighted confession wrapped in high-gloss production.
On ‘Naive’, the latest preview of forthcoming EP FUTURE VU, he sharpens that aesthetic into something darker, sleeker, and future-facing.
The track surges forward on rigid, robotic beats and a pulsing synth bassline, evoking the neon melancholy of contemporary synth-pop revivalism. Yet where others lean solely on nostalgia, Weaux pushes toward futurism. The shimmering synth textures feel expansive, almost dystopian, lending the song a dramatic undercurrent that simmers beneath its danceable exterior.
‘Naive’ captures the tension between who we were and who we’re becoming. Weaux articulates a distinctly modern anxiety, the fear of outgrowing former selves, of romanticizing a past shaped by innocence. It’s introspective without indulgence, framed through a lens of self-awareness.
His vocal delivery heightens the drama. A clear, emotive tenor gives way to flickers of falsetto and moments of stylized AutoTune distortion, as if toggling between authenticity and performance. The duality feels intentional, reflecting both the theatricality of his roots and the digital age he’s soundtracking.
With ‘Naive’, Weaux continues to refine his identity as a queer pop artist unafraid of spectacle or sincerity. If this is the direction of FUTURE VU, then the future he envisions is one lit by strobes, shadowed, yes, but ultimately moving toward something brighter.
