Featuring seductive hints of freestyle electric guitar, alongside trip-hop-style rhythms and a retro array of keys and synths, the humble production leads with a soulful edge of relevance to its own lyrical story.
“It comes from a deep place. I’ve had really bad luck, or bad taste, whatever you wanna call it, with my previous relationships. A couple years back I had my son, and all of a sudden I was left raising him alone.
The song quickly brings through Sherry’s leading voice, a nostalgic depth and soulful melody uniting to add a whole new layer of energy, humanity and heart to proceedings.
From the multi-layered colours, melodic appeal and honesty of Hard To Love, we enter the dreamy tones and driving anthemic presence of Cheap Sunglasses, Justine setting the mood as ever with lyrical and production relevance to the underlying story.
“I just want to say thank you to anyone that likes my music and supports me, it means a lot!”
