Flauwher’s new single, “Sinking In,” is one of those rare songs that draws listeners into the naked emotional load of lost love. With beautiful melodies and personal lyrics, Flauwher captures those moments of silence after a breakup, where reality begins to sink in.
“Sinking In” pulls you into a mood, vividly describing profoundly personal and universally relatable heartache. The production is understated but effective, letting Flauwher’s impassioned vocals shine through. Her delivery sharpens with aching openness, turning each lyric into a whispered confession to the void.
Flauwher lays out her feelings as an internal dialogue, which we tell ourselves when the weight of loss gets too heavy to ignore. It is no more than your average breakup song but a whole experience. It’s the moment when you have finally stopped distracting yourself, and the emotions you have been running from rush in like a tide you can’t evade.
With “Sinking In,” Flauwher has cemented her skill for shapeshifting the most personal of suffering into the universal kind. It’s a song that will speak to anyone who has sat alone with their thoughts, confronted with the realization that the love that’s lost is the kind that doesn’t just disappear in the middle of the night.
