13 year-old emo pop sensation Self Love drops impressive debut single “Playing My Heart”
Today, we’d like to introduce you to Self Love, a 13 year-old up and coming artist blessed with talent beyond his years. On his debut single “Playing My Heart” he combines the current wave of emo rap with undertones of dark pop and guitar-driven punk. Lyrically, the song is about the heartbreak he had with a relationship— the ups and downs, and struggles of it all. His supple voice and harrowing lyrics compliment and unmask his vulnerable yet crush-inducing appeal.
Beautifully-written and emotionally-driven, “Playing My Heart” is an impressive debut single by an artist heavily influenced by the late Juice WRLD. While many artists around his age group tend to release colourful and happier songs, Self Love instantly grabs your attention by displaying emotion and vulnerability on a brilliant song that will connect with people of all ages. This kid is going to be a star, protect him at all costs.
“I am 13 years old and have been writing music from the age of 11. This is my very first single I have released. I plan to release new music every 4-6 weeks. I write about my feelings and experiences mostly. Music is a way for me to deal with my problems and express myself on how I feel. I think there are a lot of people that feel the same way I do at times and I hope my songs can relate and help them as they have helped me” — Self Love.
