With her single ‘Count Me Out’, Sabreen Islam delved into the world of online dating, packing the excitement and knocks to your confidence that this experience can bring. She is now turning her attention to the longing and curiosity we feel for someone who is no longer in our lives in ‘You Will Never See This’. Through the raw and honest lyrics, she brings a wash of anger and hurt that swirls to create a complicated emotional mix.
As the single takes you through the thoughts of someone you used to know, Islam weaves a journey through hurt to healing. While continuing her infusion of emotions in her music, there is a new edge to her sound that showcases her musical versatility. The track is also the first single from her debut EP which marks a new era in her career.
‘You Will Never See This’ slowly builds with a tender and honest feeling to the music. The minimalistic melody gives the vocals a chance to really shine, while adding to the emotional depths that they swirl to life. As the single progresses, a roll of drums hit to send you tumbling into the thoughts of the lyrics. This comes to an abrupt end, before picking up again and meeting the electric guitars. The dynamic flow of the music brings power to the emotions of the vocals, while churning your feelings. Through all of the emotional hits, there is this draw in the beats that make you want to lightly move to the rhythm. This movement helps you on the journey from pain and anger to healing.
The journey is enhanced by Islam’s vocals as she moves from a tender confession in the opening to a brighter feeling in the later parts of the track. Against the stripped opening of the single, her voice calls out with an honest and raw feeling of curiosity over how the other person feels. There is a relatable edge to the lyrics that anyone who has thought about someone who is no longer in their lives can connect with. As the beats tumble you into the vocals, Islam’s vocals change from hurt curiosity to a consideration of what the person is doing, but this no longer has the longing feeling of the opening. It is more a sense of thinking about someone before moving on to new things.
With raw emotions, tender melodics and a healing journey, Sabreen Islam thinks about someone no longer in her life and the complex feelings they invoke in ‘You Will Never See This’. The single uses a delicate journey through the vocals and a melody that senses you tumbling into healing. Islam’s vocals move from raw curiosity to a sense of healing and moving forward with life.
