Family ties are complicated, especially when someone has to deal with the fallout of leaving the people who once relied on them. DeEss2.’s “Tempted Hearts“ is a melodic, conscious hip-hop single about a father’s journey away from his family and his fight to return.
The story is more than a going-away and coming-back. That’s a story about a man who walks away from his kids, his family, his life, and then tries to find his way back. The song’s premise rests on an emotional bedrock of responsibility, personal change, and the importance of family ties. The release is the difficult process of trying to restore what’s been lost.
Its melodic approach suits a story that’s as much about contemplation as engagement. DeEss2. calls the release hip-hop art at its finest, saying that the message becomes bigger than one person. “Tempted Hearts“ makes you think about the people affected by the decisions we make in life and the responsibility that comes with family life. Its greatest strength is that the story matters because the relationships within it matter.
