Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and producer abeltriesherbest hubs into an emotionally raw and beautiful new track, “your shame.” The indie R&B track is a searing meditation on self-worth, toxic love, and the painful realization that some people never change, but only their victims do.
“your shame” drags listeners into an intimate duel, as if in front of the partner who said they would do better the last time they hurt you but never did. The song’s bare-bones construction and full-dive production magnify its heavy message, with abeltriesherbest’s airy but defiant vocals as both a lament and a siren. Her words pierce as this is not another break-up anthem but an honest dose of reality.
She reveals a painful truth through poignant lyrics as though she might have left, and the cycle of emotional devastation continues with other women. It’s a sobering reminder that people tend to take their unresolved shame from one relationship to another, leaving havoc in their path. The song’s slow-burning melody and melancholic instrumentation reflect the weight of this epiphany, making it impossible not to feel every ounce of feeling behind each lyric.
With “your shame,” abeltriesherbest demonstrates she’s an artist unafraid of discomfort. Her skill for combining vulnerability with strength and sadness with empowerment establishes her as a fast-rising voice in indie R&B.
