“...A sharp and intriguing auditory shift compared to Dangle, One Soul's Story unveils a softer and warmer side to Omnesia's sound. It has a timeless, vintage feel coursing through its veins, as it floats between styles and textures with a beautiful disregard for neat labels or tidy genre boxes. Recorded in a large community warehouse, One Soul's Story soaks up the character of its environment. That big, open space with brick walls has given the song an earthy and spacious glow. Add to that the fact that it was recorded live, with no click track, and captured in a single take, and you begin to understand why the tune "feels" the way it does. Accompanying the duo's new release is a wonderfully old-school and trippy music video, and we are stoked to share it with you today!” - Jeremy Bregman

“Omnesia's "One Soul's Story" doesn't arrive as an attempt to grab immediate attention or satisfy algorithmic logic, but rather as a deliberate pause—a track that demands to be listened to, not skimmed. Released on February 6, 2026, as the fifth single and video announcing their upcoming album, OMNESIA : Future Vintage, the track is part of a slow, thoughtful unfolding of a larger conceptual universe. Oakland-based, the duo Omnesia —comprised of vocalist and visual architect Medella Kingston and guitarist/producer M2—operates outside the bounds of genre. Their music is less a collection of songs and more a constantly shifting emotional archive, woven from memory, identity, and sonic curiosity. "One Soul's Story" stands out within this narrative for its restraint. Where other singles explored movement, texture, or attitude, this one turns inward, favoring warmth, patience, and human imperfection over spectacle. It's not a track designed to impress, but to linger. ” - Ryann

“"Heroes + Legends" bursts forth like a neon rocket launched into a darkening sky. The fourth single released ahead of OMNESIA: Future Vintage —a monumental project of 17 tracks and 17 videos slated for February 17, 2026—it feels less like a mere teaser and more like a bold declaration of intent. Omnesia isn't trying to gently pave the way: the duo is kicking the door open. Conceived as a dance track but carrying the weight of protest music, "Heroes + Legends" vibrates with urgency, anger, joy, and defiance in equal measure. From the opening seconds, the track asserts that queerness is neither a curiosity nor a spectacle, but a lived experience, a survival strategy, and an act of defiance. The line "Do you find me queer? Like a violation?" resonates as a direct provocation, exposing the violence inherent in the way difference is monitored, judged, and criminalized. The song is direct without being moralistic, celebratory without ever being escapist. In the current climate—where LGBTQIA+ existence is once again being exploited by reactionary politicians in the United States and elsewhere— Omnesia makes it clear that this song is neither neutral, nor decorative, nor conciliatory. It is an invitation to remember, to take action, and to resist. ” - Ryann

“OMNESIA - Dirty Love Translated from French (on the website) from Extravafrench. With Dirty Love, Omnesia transforms Frank Zappa's salacious anthem into a future-vintage manifesto: a carnal, troubled, mutant rock, where genres, bodies and eras rub against each other without asking permission. From the very first seconds, Omnesia's version of Dirty Love makes no attempt at reverence or museum-like recreation. The track arrives with a feline grace, a knowing smile, as if it already knows all the taboos it's about to trample with elegance. Covering Frank Zappa has never been a neutral exercise: too respectful, and you disappear; too iconoclastic, and you betray. Omnesia chooses the third, riskier path: absorbing the spirit rather than the letter, injecting Zappa's venom into a new, ambiguous, resolutely contemporary body... ... The guitars, for their part, behave like nocturnal animals: sometimes caressing, sometimes abrasive, always ready to bite. The production rejects nostalgic glitz. Here, the sound has been polished without being sanitized, retaining an organic roughness that allows every intention to breathe. Dirty Love is not a static homage: it's a temporal shift, an old fantasy plugged into new circuits. What's most striking is the aesthetic coherence. Omnesia doesn't simply juxtapose influences; the band creates a territory. Classic rock, glam, electro-pop, new wave, and a kind of post-digital sensuality intersect there, like in an underground film where identities shift with every shot. Even the music video, populated with generative textures and animal presences, extends this feeling of "auditory omakase": you don't choose, you trust. By reinterpreting Dirty Love, Omnesia seeks neither to shock nor to reassure. The band poses a more subtle question: what remains of rock when it is freed from its macho constraints, its rigid postures? The answer lies in this vibrant, playful, deliciously indecent track that is never vulgar. A reinterpretation that doesn't cleanse the sin, but elevates it. Omnesia delivers much more than a cover here: a declaration of intent. The future of rock will be neither tame nor nostalgic. It will be fluid, embodied, and dangerously seductive. ”

“Omnesia’s Dangle Is the Sweaty, Unfiltered Rock Song We’ve Been Missing December 7, 2025 Review in Muse Chronicle Meet Omnesia: androgynous vocalist Medella Kingston and guitarist/producer M2, a duo who met online in Oakland and decided to throw every genre rulebook out the window. They call their sound “auditory omakase,” which is a fancy way of saying you never know what you’re getting. Sometimes salvation isn’t spiritual. It’s physical, immediate, and unapologetically human.” “Dangle” is a song about power, pleasure, and the art of getting through life’s bullshit by focusing on what really matters. Kingston’s narrator knows exactly what she wants and isn’t shy about asking for it, flipping traditional power dynamics with lines that celebrate being in control even when you’re not. You can hear it in the way the song breathes, how the bass and drums lock in with that slightly dangerous energy of people actually listening to each other. The lyrics acknowledge that sometimes intimacy is the only thing keeping you sane when life is grinding you down. “Dangle” makes you feel alive. The band recorded most of it live, then went back to tighten up vocals and add some synth layers, but that foundation stays dirty and immediate. Give “Dangle” a listen when you need something that kicks as hard as it grooves.”

“Most music can, with a bit of a push and a shove, be fitted into one sonic camp or another; tagged, labeled, and pigeonholed for the benefit of the discerning music fan. The keyword there is most! Sometimes you come across music so adventurous, so off-kilter, so brilliantly unaffected by fad and fashion, that such easy labels don’t work. That is always the best music. This is one of those times! Omnesia’s latest single, “Dangle,” is a song made up of recognisable musical strands but is woven of so many, spliced together from sounds and styles that aren’t usually found working together, certainly not in such heavenly harmony, that it is in a genre of one. It’s a case of while you might recognise the sonic building blocks, the sonic architecture that they result in still dazzles with originality. Based around vocalist Medella Kingston and guitarist/producer who goes by the cryptic moniker M2, “Dangle” runs on bluesy, hard-rock energy but is then brilliantly shaped into a new sonic form under the influence of electro-pop grooves, almost proggy structures, vintage Hammond organs, new wave sheen, and alternative mindsets. It’s a strange song, but strange is brilliant, right? Strange is unconventional. Strange is non-conformist. Strange is the antithesis of comfort zones and convention. Strange is what comes next rather than what has gone before. Strange is exciting. Strange is the only way forward! I have never claimed to be able to see into the future, but I think I may have just caught a trace of what it sounds like!” - Dave Franklin

“Future Vintage Feelings — Omnesia’s “Days and Nights” Omnesia’s latest single, “Days and Nights,” is a lush, time-bending trip through emotion and atmosphere — the kind of song that feels both handcrafted and cosmically engineered. The duo, comprised of androgynous vocalist Medella Kingston and guitarist/producer M2, blends genres with the ease of artists who know exactly what they’re chasing and have no need to explain it.” - KVG 14 November 2024

“OF DISTANCE AND LIGHT - At its center, Medella Kingston’s voice radiates presence. Layered in harmonies that swell and recede like tides, her vocals blur the boundary between ache and anticipation. There’s an emotional clarity in her delivery, a sense that every note was lived before it was sung.” - Cherine Abulwafa - 14 November 2025 : "Days and Nights"
