III SHARDS – “finish what we started / fight me”

III SHARDS is an Atlanta artist who has been making music for years, and with “finish what we started / fight me” he finally sounds ready to put everything on the line. These two singles feel like a real step forward, not because they are louder or bigger, but because they come across as fully thought out and personal.

He recorded both tracks in his bedroom studio, which he has been working out of for five to ten years. Knowing that makes the detail stand out even more. He stacks three to five vocal layers on different parts and mixes everything himself, using sharp beat cuts to highlight certain moments. You can hear the control in how “finish what we started” keeps a steady flow without drifting off track. It sounds intentional and focused.

The lyrics blend real experiences with exaggeration, almost like historic fiction written from the perspective of an older version of himself who struggled to let go of something important. That idea adds depth without making the songs feel heavy or forced. You get the sense that a lot was happening in his life at once, and turning that into music became the outlet.

There is clear inspiration from Jane Remover’s detuned sound, but III SHARDS doesn’t copy it. He uses it as a starting point and builds his own identity on top of it. If this is the level he is reaching from a bedroom setup, it is worth keeping an eye on what comes next. Follow III SHARDS on social media and stay updated on new releases this year.
