Music is one of the most powerful healing arts. There are a few songs that can be both healing and powerful, and ‘CHAINMAIL’ is one of those songs that creates its own place in listeners’ hearts. With this new release, COLLECT THE HIVE proves that music can be both a weapon and a remedy. She is a Chicago-based Alternative R&B artist who has been making her name by creating songs that leave out space for vulnerability, and this new video release is her most exceptional proof of it. This new song, however, pushes the viewers deeper. The music video reflects her weight of struggle while also carrying the light of survival.
The song is lyrically beautiful, where lines like “Heavily protected, my angels they selected me / Don’t you dare forget it anytime you start regretting things” showcase the artist’s lyrical genius rooted in resilience and cosmic vision. COLLECT THE HIVE has balanced raw confession with poetic imagery in her words as blurred the line between pain and transcendence. Every element of the song speaks volumes about her artistic creativity. The composition of the track further reinforces its message. The beat is sharp, which gives space to the melodies to move with grace. This helps create a sonic contrast between armor and exposure for the listeners. However, what makes this recent release feel alive is the artist’s vocals. It shifts from delicate to powerful in between verses.
The video reflects the song’s message even louder. The entire film is focused on the singer, making interactions with the viewers through the camera. The clips of ‘CHAINMAIL’ are transcendental, matching the song’s vibe perfectly. Watch the video on YouTube along with her other releases, ‘Separate Ways’, and ‘VIRAL’. Follow her on SoundCloud, Spotify, Apple Music, and Instagram for more updates.
