The song is chaotic, and rightly so for such a life-altering event that tackles the loss of a parent, but also the denial it creates, including what we tell ourselves. It isn’t just the artistic craft that gives it such a strata of meaning, but the flow and performance, in which the rapper dedicates her entire being to ridding herself of the unwanted sentiments that come from such an experience.
The stress and ardour can be felt throughout its four-minute runtime, as Clark shakes against a background of consistent sombre piano keys and soft snares that contrast her delivery. Detaching from the present, earthsignchels transitions into a new world, both uncharted and strange, augmented in a music video that reveals more of these physical reverberations.
