Inherently unique conceptually and executed with quite aplomb, Love, Simply, Vol.3++ is a standout record for me in many ways. It’s a duo piece, a two track EP with diametrically opposed sides.
The first track, King?, is a raw, hard-hitting rap that dives into the fierce complexities of leadership, grappling with themes of self-doubt, inner strength, and the primal instincts that drive us. It’s an unapologetic exploration of what it means to own your power and face your inner “animal” head-on.
In contrast, Heavy shifts to a softer, more reflective tone, with a gentle pop-rock ballad designed to be a comforting message for anyone feeling the weight of life’s challenges. The song reminds listeners that they aren’t alone in bearing their burdens, and that carrying “the crown” is both a responsibility and a privilege.
Connected by the phrase “heavy is the crown,” these tracks explore the duality of being our own “kings,” embracing the challenges and rewards that come with that role. Love, Simply, Vol.3++ is an introspective journey into strength and vulnerability, inviting listeners to bear their own crown with both humility and gratitude.
