Akkilles

**Akkilles** is the indie pop brainchild of Detroit-based singer-songwriter David James, blending breezy synths, introspective lyrics, and infectious melodies. Since emerging in the early 2010s, James has carved out a niche with his moody yet danceable tracks, like the dreamy "Strange Dream" or the self-reflective "By Myself," which balance vulnerability with sharp, relatable storytelling. His recent releases—including the nostalgic "Glimpse (What It Feels Like)" and the cheeky "Choosy"—showcase his knack for pairing retro-electro grooves with modern anxieties, like digital-age disconnect and personal growth. While keeping a low profile, Akkilles’ music sticks around for its honesty and knack for turning existential musings into songs you can’t help but hum along to.
