Kevynn Hudsonn throws away the tear-stained tissues and smashes the cliché mold with their latest single, “Rose Quartz.” This isn’t your average breakup ballad; it’s a battle cry for self-love, wrapped in a genre-bending soundscape that shimmers like the very crystal it’s named after.
The lyrics are a raw, open diary entry. Lines like “If I can’t love myself, I can’t expect real love from you” lay vulnerability bare, a universal truth that forces listeners to confront their own reflections in the mirror. Hudsonn doesn’t shy away from the sting of past hurts, but their voice carries a quiet defiance and a simmering strength that builds throughout the song.
Musically, “Rose Quartz” is a kaleidoscope. A lone guitar starts the journey, a melancholic lament that subtly morphs into a laid-back hip-hop groove. The deep bass provides a steady heartbeat, grounding the song as ethereal synths add a touch of celestial magic. It’s a sonic tapestry that feels both intimate and expansive, mirroring the emotional terrain Kevynn Hudsonn navigates.
This isn’t a song about dwelling on what’s lost. It’s a celebration of self-discovery. As the song progresses, Hudsonn‘s voice gains power, culminating in a triumphant declaration: “Since I’ve learned to love myself, I find I’m not in love with you.” It’s a statement of liberation, a shedding of past baggage.
The title, “Rose Quartz,” isn’t just a pretty melody. The crystal, known for its connection to the heart chakra, becomes a potent symbol. It represents the protagonist’s transformation—their journey from a place of self-doubt to one of self-acceptance.
“Rose Quartz” is an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt their self-worth diminish in a relationship. It’s a powerful reminder that true love starts from within, and the path to happiness begins with embracing the person staring back at you in the mirror. This single also showcases Hudsonn’s ability to blend genres seamlessly, hinting at the rich musical landscape they’re ready to unleash on the world. It’s a tantalizing taste of a unique voice, one that promises to challenge expectations and empower listeners for years to come.
