“Reality, Now” by Flash Poetry isn’t just a single. It’s a moment of stillness wrapped in rhythm. The track opens the door to a space where groove meets thought, setting up the atmosphere for Nico Lim’s upcoming debut album. Smooth guitar lines, hazy keys, and laid-back percussion give the song its pulse, while Nico’s words move like a quiet storm — steady, sharp, and full of purpose.
The Melbourne-based artist, known for his blend of spoken word, freestyle, and live instrumentation, keeps things grounded. There’s no ego or excess here. He moves with clarity, peeling back layers of our obsession with money, ego, and convenience. The flow is calm, but it lands with weight, hovering somewhere between poet and philosopher.
Flash Poetry isn’t a persona built for flash. It’s the result of a real journey. Nico’s path took a turn after a lung infection left him unable to speak while in Colombia. That silence led him to poetry, eventually growing into something much bigger — a voice that now echoes across open mics, TEDx stages, and tracks like this one.
I connected with this song the moment I heard it. It doesn’t push for attention. It pulls you in with ease and leaves you thinking. “Reality, Now” feels like a slow walk through a loud world — a track that invites you to look around and ask, “What are we all running after?” If you’re looking for something that goes deeper without losing its groove, don’t skip this one. Make sure to follow Flash Poetry, dig into the music, and definitely add “Reality, Now” to your playlist. The whole album’s around the corner, and if this title track is any hint, there’s a lot more truth on the way.
