Dessy X – Tears [Single]

From Des Moines, IA, Dessy X drops “Tears,” a raw-edged cut that wades through grief and the tough fight to find yourself again. An R&B ballad cloaked in emo-rap vibes, “Tears” sinks in with the sound of a soul ripped apart by loss and struggling to push on. Her voice, predominantly in an alto register and tinged with a monotone hue, is set against a backdrop of a stark yet hauntingly simple two-step synth arpeggio and gritty lo-fi drum pattern covering the air in sorrow.

“This song means more to me than yall will ever know.. talking about Death is never easy, especially if you’ve lost someone close to you. I needed to write this song so I could finally start healing.”

-Dessy X

“Tears” has the up-and-coming Midwest vocalist facing up to the pain of losing someone, delivering lines that tell a story of fighting inner battles and chasing a peace that’s hard to find. “I’ve been crying on the inside for days/I was on a path but I lost my way/ How do I get back if I’m under attack?/I’ve been searching for my heart like I’ll find it intact” she delivers, a section that’s all about dealing with loss on your own. The track’s raw edge is cranked up by a stark piano that drops in with the beat.

Dessy X‘s “Tears” pivots around her intense struggle to come to terms with her past while trying to handle what’s in front of her. Lines like “How do I get back if I’m under attack” hit home, showing the constant fight with the demons inside. With unguarded honesty, our star shares her story in a way that connects with others who have felt the weight of loss.
