PRAX’s newest single, “HEARTBREAK SZN”, is a fearless study in heartbreak and self-discovery. Written and recorded in complete isolation for maximum social distance in a bedroom, this track evokes the private, chaotic feelings after you’ve been done wrong and turns them into a darkly seductive odyssey.
The mood immediately sets in on the first hit of “HEARTBREAK SZN.” The trap-influenced rhythms keep the song on the move, and R&B-tinged textures layer to envelop the listener in an atmospheric soundscape that’s as lush as it is relatable. But it’s PRAX’s honest lyricism that really makes the song stand out. This fraught openness seeps through every line, yet a sense of strength permeates the words, an assertion that one’s pain can be reclaimed as power.
Those who’ve survived an unhealthy relationship, or the pain of a first heartbreak, will relate to “HEARTBREAK SZN”. It’s a song that doesn’t hide from the darker nooks of lost love, but leans into them, converting personal despair into something close to relief. The mix of bracing honesty and smooth production finds a striking equilibrium here, emotional exposure colliding with sophistication.
Prax has made an anthem for the resilient. It’s the sort of release that demands repeated listens, each one revealing added layers of sentiment and musical nuance. In a genre too easily dumbed down to machismo, PRAX proves that heartbreak is more than capable of driving truly great art.
