A funky piece of hyper pop with a much more sombre topic than the beat might suggest, heyimmanic’s modern emo tune delves deep into an introspective and vulnerable space. It sees the Cincinnati based artist uncover his own troubles, particularly with substance abuse and the pain that it caused to him and the people around him. Written a while after choosing to turn sober, the song is a revealing and expressive take on the pain that substance abuse causes to the user and those that care for them. It’s dark but achingly emotive, the kind of unbridled expression that feels heart wrenchingly raw and painfully evocative.
The song is aggressive and in your face, a cathartic explosion and unravelling of what’s been bubbling underneath. But, amidst it all, it’s the sincerity in the vulnerability that heyimmanic shows that keeps you hooked.
