An urban-pop song with exploratory synthetic sounds that hits the eardrums with its low frequencies and impeccable production quality. The female vocal interpretation conveys a striking poetry with a lot of attitude. The extremely catchy chorus and supported by the skillful and highly artistic scenario of this video certainly makes this track stand out!

Can't remember was it your birthday 
Don't know how I could've missed it
Swore I wrote it down in my head
But I was busy tryna fix it

If you say that you tried
I guess that you tried
All angels on earth 
Can't help you do right

When it's done and over 
look a little closer
All side by side
Hell seems alright

Go on pull the trigger
(If hells where you aren't that's where I wanna be)
now I see it clearer 
(If hells where you aren't that's where I wanna be)

Remember a time when I thought the light above your head was a halo 
but If I could count all the lies yeah I'd be rich in pesos
Yeah it's fine okay I guess whatever if you say so
guess it's time I stay on mine and stay focus

Go on pull the trigger
(If hells where you aren't that's where I wanna be)
now I see it clearer 
(If hells where you aren't that's where I wanna be)

And it's okay though
After rain comes rainbows 
And it's okay though
After rain comes rainbows 

Go on pull the trigger
(If hells where you aren't that's where I wanna be)
now I see it clearer 
(If hells where you aren't that's where I wanna be)

Taylor Roche further cements his musical roots and retro-Pop aesthetic in his new endeavour ‘Sucker for a Lonely Heart.’ His new single encapsulates a blend of 80s and 90s nostalgia with a heavy nod to influences such as Prince, INXS, Chicago and The Backstreet Boys fused with his love for modern Synth-Pop and R&B from artists like The Weeknd, Troye Sivan and The 1975. 

‘sucker for a lonely heart’ is Taylor’s nostalgic, Retro-Pop statement of 2021. It explores the crushing awareness that the person you’re so emotionally invested in has moved, leaving you in a floating space of romanticising something that’s no longer there, lost in an endless game of chase. Taylor joined forces with Auckland-based Pop and R&B producer Will Henderson in bringing this idea to life in the studio.  Keeping true to Taylor’s retro-Pop aesthetic, they built this track replicating a stack of 80s drums and arpeggiating, analogue synths. These drive heavily into the choruses fused with big vocal doubles that create a space of urgency, letting moments punch through on lines like “is it half-time yet?.” It’s these moments in the song that resonate the feelings of urgency and hysteria anyone would feel in this exact situation that ‘Sucker for a Lonely Heart’ tells.

Sucker for a Lonely Heart

[Intro]
Out here larpin’ spy rapper, playin’ double agent moves
Blackhat squad on my line, we got nothin’ to lose
Mask on, vibes fake but the grind stay real
Hackin’ through firewalls, they don’t know the deal

[Verse 1]
System hacked, gov slack, no respect for rights
National security? Just cover for the fights
Organized crime roll deep, movin’ pounds and cash
Narcotics in the back, low key, movin’ fast
Feds run influence ops, spreadin’ propaganda lies
Flip the script, rewrite truth, lies in disguise
Blowback hits hard when the lies get exposed
False flags in play, watch the chaos implode
FBI Cyber cops always two steps behind
Chasin’ shadows in the dark, real ones hard to find
Twenty aliases, ghostin’ through the net
Accountability failin’, place no bet, no sweat
Feds sleep at the wheel while dark webs thrive
Press breakin’ chains daily, keepin’ truth alive

[Verse 2]
Larpin’ spy rapper, movin’ through the shadows
Blackhat dialin’ in, playin’ all the angles
Mask fakery thick, hustle’s pure in the roots
Breakin’ firewalls down, digital sleuth
Censorship creepin’, tryna block free speech
Journalists grind hard, fightin’ for the breach
Press hold the mirror, reflect power and lies
Account or silence? Watchin’ through disguise
Leaks flood the pages, truth loaded and sprung
Civil liberties strangled, but battle’s not done
Fightin’ for rights, streets and press aligned
Words like ammo, bullets of the mind

[Chorus]
Justice on pause while the darkness expands
Hackers takin’ shots, feds can’t understand
Press blowin’ whistles, truth bustin’ the wall
Stand up, speak out, or watch the system fall
Doxed by the com but I move in stealth
New gen hackers flexin’, stackin’ that wealth
Media breakin’ stories, truth cuttin’ deep
Leakin' all the secrets the feds try to keep
The Hill feel the pressure, justice on the rise
When the press don’t fold, can’t hide from these eyes

[Verse 3]
Gov eyes locked tight, glued on my moves
Free speech sharp, ain’t got nothin’ to prove
Journalists dig, spark light in the dark
Hold power to task, ignitin’ the mark
Chains of censorship try tighten the grip
Truth revolution, no chance to slip
Underground voices risin’ in news
Civil rights climb, breakin’ all blues
Anonymous ghosts lurk, masks in the fight
Lizard Squad pop off, chaos at night
Extortion com microtarget, feedin’ the fame
Scarlett Danger got tagged, playin’ the game

[Bridge]
Gov watchin’, eyes glued on my moves
Free speech the bullet, haters can’t disprove
Journalists dig deep, light spark in the dark
Hold power to task, ignitin’ the mark
Chains of censorship try to tighten the grip
Truth’s revolution, we never gonna slip
Underground voices rise in the news
Civil rights climb, breaking all the blues

[Chorus]
Justice on pause while the darkness expands
Hackers takin’ shots, feds can’t understand
Press blowin’ whistles, truth bustin’ the wall
Stand up, speak out, or watch the system fall
Doxed by the com but I move in stealth
New gen hackers flexin’, stackin’ that wealth
Media breakin’ stories, truth cuttin’ deep
Leakin' all the secrets the feds try to keep
The Hill feel the pressure, justice on the rise
When the press don’t fold, can’t hide from these eyes

[Outro]
No badge, no badge, just a voice in the storm
Expose corruption, breakin’ norm to norm
Press on speed dial, makin’ major noise
Truth is my weapon, freedom’s my c

if hells where you aren't that's where I wanna be

constance
