Broken Hearted

Alt-pop with moody trap drums and half-time pulse; verse stays close and tense with sparse piano, sub bass, and clipped percussion; pre-chorus opens with rising synth pads and stacked harmonies; chorus hits harder with wide doubles, handclaps, and a short chantable hook. Vocal is intimate and cracked in verses, then layered and emotional on the hook, with delay throws on key words and a few breathy ad-libs. Ear candy includes reversed swells into the pre, vinyl grit in the intro, and a last-chorus octave lift. Bright top-end over a dark, punchy low end.
