The fresh touch of her voice helps the emotions of the single shine. Through the single, she moves from a sense of uncertainty and the spilling of all the flaws she has to a statement that she can’t change and you need to accept her as she is. There is a delicate interplay between the emotions as she stands up for who she is but also acknowledges the doubts we all face in a new relationship.
Molly Francesca moves from doubt to statements of acceptance while riding the emotions of a new relationship in ‘My Kind of Man’. While the single acknowledges the rollercoaster of doubt felt in a new relationship, there is also a really empowering stance being taken.
