“I still wish I’d be the one for you”. With “Devote”, Irina Kühn has stirred up the essence of her emotions, plunging into the long dark night of the soul. A story about devotion in the most negative sense: as self-devaluation, self-abandonment, self-destruction, triggered by an unfulfilled toxic love.
Plain Folly literally takes the listener on a journey, a journey through her most intimate, darkest emotions: Grief, despair, hope, resignation and anger are just some of them. What begins cooly electronically and darkly meandering, oscillates from silver hope back into deep twitching shadows.
“Oh I’ve fought for you, but every single bruise makes me feel less adorable.” From self-empowerment to self-sacrifice in one single step – “Devote” is a darkly shimmering soundtrack, engulfed by desperate, worn, breathless vocals. Not exactly light fare. And therefore a song for sleepless nights, long car journeys – and the repeat button.
