It’s the sadness of love, and a rage against the dying of the night. PHIE’s new single Rage sets a sweet groove, and couples it with a nice statement about accepting the least favorite things about yourself. And then, always, finding a way to celebrate.
What I like about this, apart from the switchblade-honey vocal performance, is the element of acceptance. It’s a message about being there for your friends and lovers, and about letting yourself just be.
Everywhere I go I’m a hurricane
Don’t want to die alone in my own crazy
Yet, we find that in the end we attract opposites for a reason, and that maybe the process of coming together is just a beautiful explosion that is happening right now. Rage, the latest release from PHIE, is a sultry stew of emotions, memories, and self-incriminations.
