Infusing together elements of soul, r&b, and rap, Statz’s latest track is effortlessly smooth to listen to. The song narrates the experience of someone confessing his love for someone who may not reciprocate the same feelings. It’s in the harmonies that Statz sets himself apart, taking the best of modern emo rap together with a neo-soul tinge to craft an endearing and sincere love song that’s as passionate as it is smooth. Coming from a musical background that founds itself in hip-hop, it’s clear that Statz has imbibed his ancestry well and more.
While many might think a song like this would be sullen and melancholic, Statz takes an incredibly uplifting perspective. It’s quite in line with the way he carries himself and views the world as well. “As humans we feel so many different emotional on the daily basis. Allow yourself to feel everything it is you want to feel. Be happy and celebrate all the trials and tribulations of life. You only get to live a moment once. So cherish and relish in those moments that you will never see again. There’s always someone or something to celebrate“
For those interested in r&b, ‘Honest’ is bound to have you playing it on loop.
