“I’ve always found myself drawn to writing about platonic relationships, the ups and downs of important friendships. This track in particular was a Nancy Drew moment, as I started writing it with the intention communicating how frustrating it is when an incredible, amazing, beautiful friend keeps dating shitty people. By the end of it realized “oh shit, I may actually have deeper feelings for this person.”
This is a quote that the artist shared with us about this debut single from LA-via-Seattle artist Small Shake who “explores the corners of quiet human experience: the pain of platonic heartbreak, the anxiety of social gatherings, the tremors of a new crush.“
Lately, I’ve found myself drawn to a charming indie rock track that I can’t get enough of. Its gentle, wistful ambiance has resonated with me. The song features a lovely, uncomplicated guitar, emotive vocals, and a melody with a delightful pop sensibility. I’ve always had a soft spot for debut singles – there’s something special about being there from the beginning of an artist’s journey. This track feels distinct and pure, untouched by mainstream influence, which makes it all the more authentic. It’s one of those songs that has truly captivated me. I’ve been immersing myself in its melody and lyrics, allowing the music to transport me to another place and appreciating its sheer beauty. I can’t wait to see what this artist has in store next, as this single is a very strong debut, and I believe it will resonate with many others as it has with me.
