PAAB has just dropped his captivating debut single, Rose of Venus. This distinctive track weaves together melodic and cosmic elements, paired with powerful, mantra-like vocals that set it apart. Top Hitz had the privilege of speaking with PAAB, and you can discover more about this intriguing new artist and his unique sound in the interview below.
How did your time spent between London and Poland influence the sound and style of “Rose of Venus”?
Each location brought its own unique energy and inspiration that shaped the song in different ways. London with its vibrant, international music scene, exposed me to a wide range of musical styles and genres, from electronic and experimental sounds to classic pop and indie influences. The city’s dynamic, fast-paced environment gave me the space to explore more innovative production techniques and allowed me to experiment with blending spiritual themes with modern, accessible pop elements. to give the production a polished, contemporary edge. Poland, on the other hand, provided a contrasting, more reflective backdrop. My time there often inspired a deeper introspection, helping me to tap into the emotional and spiritual themes I wanted to convey in the song. The connection to nature and spirituality that I felt in Poland allowed me to bring a sense of grounding and authenticity to “Rose of Venus.” Poland has also been the place where I have deepened the majority of my spiritual studies.
What’s the significance of the title “Rose of Venus,” and how does it encapsulate the essence of the song?
The title “Rose of Venus” refers to the Venus Pentagram, a geometric pattern traced by the planet Venus as it orbits the Sun in an eight-year cycle. This pattern resembles the shape of a rose, which has long been associated with love, beauty, and growth. Venus, as the planet of love, is central to this symbolism, representing romantic and emotional cycles that many of us experience in relationships. The title “Rose of Venus” encapsulates the song’s exploration of the natural rhythms of love—its moments of closeness and distance, its phases of growth and challenge. Just as Venus and Earth go through cyclical movements in their cosmic dance, relationships often follow a similar pattern, with periods of harmony and separation. The rose symbolises the blossoming of love and understanding through these cycles, while also suggesting that love, like a rose, requires patience and care to grow.
Your music draws on deep spiritual practices. How do you keep that connection authentic while crafting a mainstream pop sound?
Staying true to yourself when creating music, especially when it’s based on universal spiritual truths, is fundamental to maintaining authenticity and depth in your work. For me, this means grounding my creative process in daily spiritual practices and energy work that keep me connected to my inner self and the broader forces around me. These practices are not just something I turn to occasionally – they’re a vital part of my life and music-making process. They help me align my intention with the deeper truths I want to express through my songs. I engage in rituals that help me stay centred and attuned to the energy around me. Whether it’s meditation, grounding exercises, journeying, or simply taking time to reflect on my own emotions and experiences, these practices allow me to clear my mind and open myself to the creative flow. I know how to tap into sources of wisdom and power within – what some might call intuition or inner guidance – when I’m seeking inspiration. This connection to my inner self allows me to craft music that feels authentic and aligned with who I am, rather than simply following trends or outside expectations.
Do you have any upcoming projects or singles that continue the themes of spirituality, love, and energy alchemy introduced in “Rose of Venus”?
Of course, I’m working on more songs with different producers, all of which will continue to explore the themes of spirituality and energy alchemy. These upcoming projects are a natural progression from the ideas I’ve already touched upon, and all will help the listeners on self-discovery path. My next single “Alchemic Love” delves into the immense power we hold within ourselves, specifically the transformative force of our inner love. The song speaks to the idea that love is not just something we receive from others, but an energy that we carry inside, capable of profound change and healing. It’s about recognising how we can shift our perception, elevate our consciousness and transmute our experiences, whether positive or negative, into something more meaningful and powerful. “Alchemic Love” is about choice. It emphasises the idea that we have the power to decide how we interpret and live our lives—whether we view it as a blessing or a curse. If we choose to embrace life as a blessing, we tap into the transformative potential of love, allowing it to guide us toward growth, compassion, and fulfilment.
Who are your musical influences?
My musical influences are drawn from a wide range of genres and artists and I’m deeply inspired by artists who blend emotional depth with spirituality, as well as those who push the boundaries of pop music while maintaining authenticity. Artists like Florence + The Machine, Loreen, Lana Del Ray fuse ethereal, otherworldly sounds with raw emotion and storytelling which resonates deeply with my approach to music. I also love pop artists who bring in the flair of 80s pop such as Conan Gray and Sophie and the Giants, not to mention the 80s megastar Depeche Mode themselves. Overall, my influences come from a mix of pop, indie, and electronic music, all of which have shaped my desire to blend spirituality, emotional storytelling and modern production to create something that feels both accessible and deeply meaningful.
