WENS' new single "love blind"

WENS delivers a beautiful, solemn and heartfelt message with her new single “love blind.” WENS explains, “falling in love for the first time is completely terrifying, it's all consuming and the most beautiful thing until it isn’t. I wanted my relationship to work so badly that I slowly chipped away at myself till I lost who I was without that person. I was trying so hard to bring us back to life but my harsh reality was that it’s nearly impossible to repair something that is past the point of being fixed.”

Layered synths, a simple chord progression and WENS’ powerful vocal invite you into a soundscape of heartache as the tune begins, “feel so out of focus, trying to recall who I was before we met and why I feel so small.” Yet through her own introspection of a relationship that is slowly tearing her apart Wens yearns for ignorance. She yearns for the days she was happily in love, when the relationship was simple and she was love blind. It is an ignorance also known as the honeymoon phase, but soon the facade slowly fades and we are welcomed with the messy truth. Wens yearns to hold on to what she thought was happiness and love, but the relationship has rotted and she must grapple with reality. 

WENS’ own introspection invites us to look into ourselves. In what ways are we holding on to harmful relationships? Who should we be letting go of for the sake of our own growth? It is a painful but necessary truth we must ask ourselves. The music video creates a visual ether of blurred images and flashing lights showcasing melancholy images of WENS. Her pain is apparent and the visuals showcase the darkness that pervade her brain. Heartache is confusing and WENS captures it artfully.
