The 19 year-old Singaporean R&B artist soulful vocals and introspective lyrics delve into the depths of heartbreak, resonating with listeners who have navigated the storms of love, delivering a cathartic experience like no other.
Being deep in the mire of heartbreak is an intense feeling that many of us have had at some point in our lives. To translate the depths of heartbreak with absolute vulnerability is a feat and Keyana, the 19-year-old R&B artist, captures just that with a touch of dramatic flair with her latest single, “Shelter From The Rain”. Heartbreak, has never sounded so hauntingly beautiful.
She wears her heart on her sleeve for someone so young, by opening up the pits of heartbreak and the insecurities that come with romantic entanglements. Seemingly a romantic at heart, “Shelter From The Rain” reveals Keyana’s hyperawareness of the fleeting nature of relationships. This heart-wrenching tribute to the lost souls who once graced her life, resonates with anyone who has endured the tumultuous storm of love gone awry.
Keyana, like a true artist in every respect, believes in creating a complete sensory experience for her audience, which she certainly delivered with this release. Aside from inviting us into a vivid world through her raw and sincere lyrics, the single’s art reflects her themes of loneliness, isolation, and the eternal quest for a sense of belonging within oneself.
Reminiscent of an Edward Hopper painting, the bright lights illuminating through the windows of a house, faraway in the middle of a field with a single person — probably Keyana — expresses the alienation she feels in the dark night of the fields, as her lyrics suggests. With the collaboration of Singapore-based producer Fauxe, her artistry is brought to life through the lush soundscape that effortlessly captures Keyana’s essence.
This release of the melancholic melody marks the beginning of an emotional expedition for Keyana, as she unveils her creative journey over the next few months. Strangely enough, “Shelter From The Rain” is also comforting. Keyana understands that everything unfolds the way it should, and perhaps this poignant single shows the silver lining of fleeting relationships too. It is a tantalising glimpse into the depths of her musical prowess and the emotional landscapes she dares to explore.
Allow the rain to wash over you as “Shelter From The Rain” as she weaves together a rich soundscape that blends the soulful essence of R&B with her influences’ melodic sensibilities. The heartfelt song transports listeners into a world of introspection and self-discovery.
