“Carry Me” hits a little too close to home.
Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Adelide soothes the soul with her warm, feel-good melodies and airy vocals, which intertwine with sparkly synthesizers and a soulful tone. Her contemporary pop sound is showcased in singles such as “Eleanor” and “Dance With Me” and in her debut self-titled EP, Adelide. In her latest single, “Carry Me,” Adelide delves into the feeling of one-sided love, expressing the heartache of giving everything only to still yearn for his love.
“Carry Me” explores the complexity of an imbalanced relationship between two people trying to satisfy their addictions. At the song’s beginning, Adelaide questions whether their love is genuine, recalling the many games her partner plays on her emotions so she’s strung along. She pleads with her partner to stop with the mind games and asks if he would love her enough to stay. Despite the free-flowing, groovy-contemporary melody, the theme resonates with people willing to pass the red flags to get what they want.
