Irys in Blue has just released a captivating new single that perfectly captures the confusing yet exciting feelings of a situationship. Her debut single, "IKYBM" which stands for "I Know You'll Be Mine", beautifully balances feelings of hope and heartache, making it relatable for anyone who has ever felt that mix of emotions.
"IKYBM" feels like a late-night confession, capturing all the fluttering feelings and uncertainties that come when you're starting to connect with someone new. Irys perfectly expresses that hopeful but unreciprocated desire we often feel at the beginning of a relationship, when we're holding on just a little too tightly to what may never be. The song is the first release from Irys in Blue's upcoming 5-track EP titled "My Worst" which she wrote, recorded, and produced all by herself. "IKYBM" sets a compelling tone for the EP. Drawing inspiration from artists like Solange and Erykah Badu, the song blends elements of dream pop, soul, and ambient sounds, creating a vibe that feels both intimate and playful.
The production of the song is both light and rich, with Irys's layered vocals floating over warm synth sounds that pull you into her dreamy world. Listening to it feels like a leisurely summer drive, where your mind drifts to that one person who always manages to make you feel a little anxious yet excited.
"IKYBM" isn't just about longing, it's also an invitation to embrace bravery in love. The lyrics suggest that anyone can turn their situation around and feel empowered. Additionally, Irys has hinted at a music video that will visually amplify the song's strong emotions, promising to elevate the experience to another level.
