In a passionate throwback sound resonating through every note, ReeToxA released his new single, “You,” a modern rock anthem that grips hard. Sounding like a dreamy gut punch delivered with freshly charged energy, this has just the right modern polish for a 90s alternative throwback jam.
“You” is based on the lead singer’s personal experience. This doesn’t scrimp on the darkness present when a relationship falls apart. It doesn’t skirt the issue but leans into it, enrobing pain in scuzzy guitar riffs, hooky melodies, and a sing-along chorus that’s as irresistible as it is heart-aching.
There’s a sneaky pleasure in “You,” which involves howling your pain and discovering a sort of solace in chaos. It’s catchy, singable, unapologetically honest. ReeToxA has crafted a time capsule that spans generations. Its production and emotional honesty give it enough of a new-school edge to feel resolutely 2025.
In an era of streaming dominated by polished heartbreaks and algorithm-safe choruses, “You” comes through like a memory you never wanted to remember. And some way or another, you’ll have that play button on repeat because heartache never felt so right. ReeToxA wrote the breakup song, which may be the one you never knew you wanted.
