There is something exciting about a song that understands modern attraction without getting trapped in the language of modern technology. “Intertwine,” the latest single from The New Citizen Kane, takes that tension between the digital world and human connection and turns it into something playful, sensual, and instinctive.
At its centre, the song captures that electric moment when two people begin circling one another and curiosity starts becoming attraction. It is flirtation, but there is also a sense of possibility running through it. The question is not simply whether two people are attracted to each other, but whether instinct can recognise a connection before the mind has had time to analyse it.
That idea becomes even more interesting through the song’s use of technological language. Blocks, data, uploading, and mainframes become metaphors for the ways people try to understand one another, while the underlying message pushes in the opposite direction. Sometimes you have to stop processing everything and simply experience the person standing in front of you.
Musically, “Intertwine” sits comfortably inside The New Citizen Kane’s self-described “rhythm & synth” world. The electronic foundation gives the song its modern pulse, while the overall direction is sensual, psychedelic, and euphoric. Rather than treating electronic music as something purely mechanical, Kane uses it to explore something very physical: attraction, movement, anticipation, and the desire to get closer.
The timing of the song within Psychedelika Pt.2 also gives it greater significance. Following the project’s earlier “Awakening” chapter, this next stage moves into “Desire” — a space where analysis gives way to instinct. That makes “Intertwine” feel like more than an isolated single. It is an introduction to a new emotional chapter in Kane’s evolving universe.
The strongest idea here, however, may be the simplest one: put the phone down.
In a world dominated by notifications, endless scrolling, digital profiles, and constant stimulation, “Intertwine” asks what happens when two people temporarily disconnect from everything else and give each other their full attention. The song’s technological imagery ultimately leads somewhere surprisingly human — toward the uncertainty and excitement of discovering whether two separate worlds can actually fit together.
That is where The New Citizen Kane’s world-building approach becomes effective. His music does not treat emotion, identity, and instinct as separate ideas. Instead, they overlap, collide, and create new possibilities. “Intertwine” takes that philosophy into a more physical and flirtatious space without losing the conceptual character of the project.
There is confidence in the way the song approaches desire. It does not over-explain attraction; it lets curiosity do the work. Sometimes the most interesting question is not where a connection will lead, but whether you are willing to find out.
“Can we collide?” becomes less a question about technology than about two people finally choosing to step away from the noise and see what happens when instinct takes over.
