Jasio Kulakowski steps into the spotlight as a solo artist with his debut album, Fantasy, showing us what happens when a musician decides to handle everything himself. After years spent writing music and earning praise with the band Kobra and the Lotus, Jasio has now taken on the roles of songwriter, player, producer, and mixer. This album is a totally personal project, built from the ground up by one person, proving that real passion is all you need to create something new and great in today’s music world.
The music on Fantasy is hard to put into a single box. Jasio has mixed the energy of rock music with dark, computer-made sounds, huge synth bass, and beats that feel like modern hip-hop and electronic dance music (EDM). People are already comparing his big, sweeping sound to a new version of the famous band Pink Floyd. He has also said that bands who mix genres, like Tame Impala, Twenty One Pilots, and Nine Inch Nails, helped shape his ideas. The final result is a movie-like, border-breaking sound that takes alternative music to a fresh, bold space.
Fantasy isn’t just a bunch of songs; it’s like a bright light that shows us how we all feel and think but don’t always show. This six-song album looks closely at what it means to be a person who feels things deeply, especially when the world tells us we have to be perfect all the time. This isn’t a typical love song album; it’s a quiet but important message about being honest about your feelings instead of acting like everything is fine. It shows that you can only get stronger by facing your problems, not running away from them.
The song “Fall” starts this trip by saying that letting go is a way to be strong, not weak. The song is not about falling down; it is about letting go of the need to control your feelings. It speaks to the quiet beauty of stopping resistance, whether you are dealing with heartbreak, big life changes, or just the heavy load of expectations. The simple message is that the moment you let yourself “fall,” you surprisingly find a new kind of balance and learn that sometimes, the easiest way to move ahead is to just stop struggling against what is happening.
“Cloudline” is about the beginning of this inner search, a hazy feeling you get before the day really starts, when you are not quite awake or asleep. This track is all about wanting something without knowing exactly what it is. It is the sound of that floating feeling when your mind is not fixed on one thought, searching for emotional peace. It is the important, confusing moment before you can look clearly at yourself—a feeling that is comforting because it is unclear, but always hints at deep things that are waiting beneath the surface.
With “Last One Standing,” the music takes a clear step toward being strong. The real meaning of this track is a firm, quiet announcement of inner power, created when you have been counted out or overlooked. It is not a loud cheer of success, but a private, strong realization inside. The core message is that you decide your own value, and it does not need anyone else’s approval. This is the point where the main character stops floating and finally stands firm, finding confidence that comes from the simple, steady fact of having survived and stayed true.
The title track, “Fantasy,” sits at the center of the album’s emotional struggle. In this song, the word “fantasy” is revealed to be the gap between what you dream your future will be and the reality of your life right now. The light and delicate sound of the music shows how easily this dream can break. Jasio explores the difficult but necessary difference between hope (which looks ahead) and reality (which is happening now). It is about the gentle act of holding onto a wish, even when you know it might be different or harder than you imagined, because you need that dream space to keep going.
The message of “Okay” explores the simple phrase we all use. This song goes deeper than just denying a problem; it shows the quiet, internal work that happens even while you are acting normal on the outside. The song’s close, honest sound makes the words feel real, showing that saying “I’m okay” is often needed to get through social life while you are still working through big problems inside. Its key idea is the silent agreement you make with yourself: recognizing that it is fine not to be fine, even if you have to pretend you are for the outside world.
Moving beyond the simple pretense of “Okay,” the track “Dear Future Me” is a powerful moment of being kind to your future self. The song’s essence is like the plans for how you want to grow, written by the person you are now—tired, but smarter. It is a heartfelt letter, a promise to the person you want to be, and an act of faith that the hard lessons you learn today will make you a better, kinder person in the future. Its main point is that you can change yourself on purpose and use your current story to write a better, more understanding future life instead of worrying about your mistakes.
Overall, Jasio’s Fantasy is a creative and deep look at what it means to be human. By fusing heavy rock ideas with modern electronic sounds, he has made an album that is musically exciting and emotionally honest. It’s a brave record about choosing to be vulnerable and showing us that there is a quiet strength in accepting your feelings, imperfections, and the difference between your dreams and your life. This album is a necessary listen for anyone who wants music that challenges boundaries while offering a simple, clear understanding of what it means to be human today.
