There are these light notes that gently drop while the beats and darker atmospheric vibes rise from the depths. These layers combine for a rich and lush soundscape with a lot of depth. The darker synths meld with the lighter tones for a sonic representation of the emotional state when vulnerable with another. The melody has a deep neo-soul thread woven into the more pop sounds.
While the melody forms a thick emotional pulse, Fleurr’s vocals are a ghostly layer over it. There is a haunting edge to her vocals as they float over the pulses of the melody. Her delivery adds to the atmospheric feeling of the melody. As her voice haunts you, she exposes her vulnerable side and asks for reciprocation. While a fairly straightforward single, there is something about it that resonates deeps in your chest.
Fleurr reveals her vulnerable side and asks for her emotional transparency to be returned in the depths of ‘I’m Just Being Honest’.
