Canadian singer Desi G released a new single entitled Afraid to Fall in Love. The song is about the fear of falling in love and the risk of heartbreak.
The music is Pop. The beat is intense and bold. The piano is the perfect instrument to reflect the story of being scared to fall in love. It’s a beautiful ballad. The rhythm is wavy, with excellent transitions to reflect various emotions. It parallels Evanescence’s single My Immortal in the musical style and the heavy feeling it gives, representing fear and anxiety. It also reminds me of heartbreak songs from the 80s and 90s, especially Toni Braxton’s Unbreak My Heart. The tempo is remarkable throughout the tune. The composition is intricate and rich.
Desi G’s voice is deep and soulful. She sings expressively and genuinely about the fears of falling in love, which is relatable. She performs this with a beautiful rhythm.
The lyrics are touching and profound. The song has a simple and relatable subject of the fear of falling in love and heartbreak/pain. The words are poetic. It covers what some may call the “dark side” of love, the anxiety regarding something one can’t control. It also expresses fear of pain if a relationship doesn’t work out. The use of freestyle writing parallels the stream of consciousness regarding thoughts flowing one after the other, covering the different aspects of emotions and fears, including the fear of love. Desi G did an excellent job writing the song – she wrote it from the heart.
The single Afraid to Fall in Love is available.
