Jade Fields releases "STRANGERS," a genre-bending anthem that aesthetically embodies the haunting pain of a broken heart and does it with grace and style. Jade Fields doesn't write songs as much as he paints emotional landscapes. For him, "STRANGER" is one of his most vivid. Slick with alt-R&B and pop production, this song digs into the universally relatable point where love melts away, and two people who once knew everything about each other become strangers. It's an emotion so universal yet singularly crushing every time, and Fields nails that emotional whip crack with expert nuance.
Jade layers his vocal harmonies, giving the sense that he's singing in an intimate theater, making you lean in closer with each line. The production is crisp, with an atmosphere that allows the lyrics to breathe and the beat to serve as the heavy backbone of the message. And just when you think the song has played all of its cards, the bridge, a centerpiece of the track, is catchy and cathartic, wrapping everything up in one big emotional dump. This is heartbreak in the groove. Fields muses, using pain for its transcendental potential and turning it into something achingly human and rhythmically irresistible. Whether nursing a heartbreak, haunted by a past love, or in one's feelings on a long walk, "STRANGERS" is the soundtrack to it all.
Over the course of his solo career, Jade Fields has blurred the lines of R&B, neo-soul, hip-hop, house, and pop. Yet he maintains that he is not boxed in the genre but instead inspired by the potential of sound. "STRANGERS" is another example of how he continues growing as an artist and projects unapologetic emotional transparency and honesty. "STRANGERS" is a song for the playlist for anyone who digs music that cuts deep but also makes you nod your head. It's the type of song that lets you know that you are not alone in your mess and that, sometimes, healing starts on the dance floor.
