In a world where love can feel both wonderful and painful, Solum's new single, "Circles," captures the ups and downs of unhealthy relationships with genuine honesty. Solum has crafted a track that feels both personal and expansive, delving into the complex emotions that often accompany love when it goes wrong, offering a relatable experience for listeners.
From the very first notes, "Circles" draws listeners in with its touching sound. The song conveys a sense of hopelessness, akin to shouting into the void and hoping that someone might actually hear you. The gritty, distorted vocals reflect the flaws and struggles of relationships that seem to go around in circles, long after they should have ended. Instead of smoothing over the pain, Solum embraces the roughness, using the weariness in his voice to highlight the agony of love and the repetitive nature of heartbreak.
However, this isn't just another sad love song. "Circles" resonates with anyone who has ever felt trapped in a cycle they can't escape, whether it's an unhealthy pattern in a relationship or being stuck in their own thoughts. It's this universal feeling that showcases Solum's storytelling talent, he's sharing his own experiences while also helping us see our own struggles reflected in his words.
The song's acoustic style is directly connected to its recording location, stripping away the polished sounds often found in studios. Instead of feeling distant, listeners are invited into Solum's intimate world, where each lyric and guitar strum feels deeply personal. It's like being whispered a heavy secret, one that feels burdensome, yet brings a sense of relief just by being shared.
