Prple - Love Trap (Single)
Drawing upon a fusion of trap and R&B, reminiscent of artists like SZA and Don Toliver, Prple effortlessly navigates the tumultuous terrain of desire and self-respect through buttery smooth vocals and a mesmerising melody.
In this track, Prple, alongside producer 5five2, masterfully captures the essence of being caught between the allure of love and the realisation of one's worth. The lyrics echo the sentiment that while falling in love may be simple, finding the strength to walk away is a far greater challenge. Through a deeply personal narrative, prple articulates the inner turmoil of feeling trapped in a relationship where one knows they deserve better, or in the solitude of unrequited love.
"Love Trap" not only showcases prple's musical prowess but also her ability to give voice to the nuanced emotions that often go unspoken. It's a captivating piece that resonates with authenticity, offering listeners a glimpse into the profound depths of human emotion.
"Falling in love is easy, turning away from it though, isn’t. Despite my desires for love, through a passionately conflicting relationship, I made a decision to choose myself regardless of how deeply I wanted to stay.
Either side of the *stay or leave* decision, I was left feeling trapped; either trapped in a relationship knowing I deserve better or trapped as a single woman knowing I still love someone that isn’t right for me" - Prple
