Denny Haze has always been about music that comes from the heart, but with his newest single, "When You Found Her," he might have just given us something as personal as it gets. Stripped of pretense and unapologetically plain, the track is a singer-songwriter's unadulterated dagger plunge into his desolation at being replaced in love.
This indie-pop ballad is an ode to the emotional giddiness of watching someone you used to love laugh and smile in the arms of another. Denny's lyrics delve deep into the insecurity that accompanies the chilling question of worth. "When You Found Her" goes down the route of personal, pared-down balladry, with Denny's vocals taking a front seat. The way he delivers it is both fragile and resolute, cracked with emotion in a way that makes each word feel like you lived it.
If you're a fan of the likes of Lewis Capaldi and James Bay, you'll feel right at home here, although Denny embraces his pain and moulds it into something achingly relatable. This is a mirror held up to the late-night anxieties, the hushed tendernesses, the dull agony of witnessing love rekindled nearby. "When You Found Her" is raw and vulnerable on another level, cinematic and devastatingly real. It's an honest, unwashed chapter in Denny's growing catalogue, one that cements him as a voice unafraid of baring it all.
