As we sit here counting down 2023’s remaining days and start compiling our Year In ReView, it’s clear that rlyblonde and her gritty dating culture takedown “Fantasy” will soon show up on our annual favorite songs list. But the project of Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist Carina Allen isn’t through with the two-three just yet, dropping another fresh joint for highlighter consideration and cementing her status as one of the year’s most exciting new voices.
This latest single is called “Your Angel,” it’s a swirling call-out billed simply as a cathartic release of anger, and it hits the streams today (November 29), complete with a visualizer in tow from rlyblonde’s own Hot Creative production company.
“Creating music, for me, was always something fueled partially by anger; an anger at my life not being what I wanted, of being jealous of people around me, of feeling trapped or stuck,” rlyblonde says. “So this song really sums up all of those angry, rebellious, teen feelings, while also tapping into something a bit darker — what it really feels like to have a trauma response to someone or something, and what to do with those complicated feelings.”
Embrace it below.
