Toronto-based R&B duo Chrome Daphne are back with their brand new single Stuck (On You), a hazy, bittersweet meditation on yearning and attachment.
What I like the most about this song is its warmth and how soothing those vocals sound, beautifully drawing our attention to their relatable storytelling. Stuck (On You) finds the duo capturing the ache of holding on to someone who’s already gone, a message wrapped around a captivating blend of bedroom R&B, lo-fi soul, dream pop textures, and hypnotic grooves. I am also enjoying the slight touch of melancholia and how the whole atmosphere of the song remains warm and soothing, perfect for a laid-back weekend!
I had a relationship that ended very abruptly. We went from best friends to complete strangers overnight. There was a lot left unsaid, and I kept catching myself thinking ‘What if I ran into her? What if she was just, like, across the street picking out a bag in Kensington Market while I’m getting a bagel or something?’ I’d run through these scenarios as I was putting on a pair of jeans, tying my shoes or locking my door. Eventually, that anxiety started colouring my day-to-day life. There’s this interesting duality of love, obsession, and self-entrampment. There’s sweetness in the devotion, but also pain in the inability to move on. Parts of this song feel like a diary entry – I like the honesty and the vulnerability. It feels like I’m in the room with my therapist.
Chris added,
It feels like trying to reach someone through fogged glass. There’s this cocoon-like warmth in the harmony, especially when the chorus hits.
