Back with a stirring new single, “Enemy,” it is on this new single that Nashville’s emerging alt-pop voice, Herine, wakes up her inner beast for a raw and resonant anthem that channels defiance, ethereal power, and unfiltered emotion. A confession, a confrontation, and ultimately, a cathartic release, “Enemy” is written by Herine, John Samuel Gerhart, and co-produced with Ruslan Odnoralov (Chainsmokers, Lennon Stella).
“Enemy” establishes a melancholic yet anthemic vibe that immerses listeners in Herine’s world of self-exploration. The first lines suggest that solitude is the safer route, but by the end of the track, the burden of her history is creeping in. She sings about struggle, personifies it, probing whose duty it is to repair a fractured reality. The production swells to a climax of intensity that reflects the internal push-and-pull of confronting one’s severest thoughts.
Herine’s style is compelling as she explores the emotional hold duality you want to heal, yet are a prisoner of things you cannot control. It’s a sentiment everyone can understand the struggle against the self, where the most prominent opponent is always on board. But amid introspection, the “Enemy” is empowering. It creates a sonic space for healing and solidarity.
With its soaring melodies, haunting lyricism, and deeply personal narrative, “Enemy” is an impactful reminder that we’re not alone. Instead, we can rise together, more substantially, unashamed of our reflections.
