Preston King – Seasons [Single]

Preston King‘s alt-R&B track “Seasons” is more than just another entry in the broody breakup genre—it’s a deep dive into the icy waters of emotional disconnect. The song’s spacious mood, guided by an initial soft dance of electric guitar and bass, soon gets blanketed with haunting drums and strings. There’s an ebb and flow here, underscored by reverb-drenched fingersnaps that echo like distant memories.

King‘s voice, smooth as a stream beneath a winter’s ice, glides with an expressive tone. It’s rich, like molten chocolate, effortlessly flowing between the song’s peaks and valleys. Just like the lyrics hint at, there’s that icy bite you get when the coziness of love slips away. The lines “  ‘Cause you changed on me like the autumn leaves/ And that winter, thought you were evergreen… “throws the metaphor of changing seasons into sharp relief, with once evergreen love now cast in autumn’s sepia hues.

“”This song vividly portrays the emotional chill and detachment in a changing relationship, akin to shifting seasons.””

– Preston King

The chorus paints this emotional merry-go-round, but the segment that follows really drills down. It describes that strange mix of being so close (“laying with you, baby“) while feeling like you are oceans apart. From there, the tune continues to wade through the waters of hushed conversations and repetitive disagreements, all beneath the cool shade of a love turned lukewarm. By the outro, we see where King has come to terms with the chilling change in the relationship, making “Seasons” a poignant reflection on love’s unpredictable transformations.
