Her latest release, the R&B/soul track “Honest,” is accompanied by an official music video. On Instagram, Noozi shared the personal significance of the song, explaining, “This song means so much to me. It’s about love and letting go, being honest with yourself, and trusting your instincts. It explores the painful truth that sometimes, even when love is present, two people simply aren’t meant to be together.”

With a seamless fusion of soul-stirring instrumentals and evocative beats, “Honest” by Noozi creates a soft, soothing soundscape that perfectly aligns with its heartfelt storyline. Lyrics like “Too late, back in I go, every time you call got me tripping trying to mind our business” and “Every time we call it off, I feel like we’re lying, to ourselves, man is it us or the timing?” capture the vulnerability of navigating the emotional rollercoaster of an on-and-off relationship. Through its mellow, dreamy backdrop and Noozi’s enchanting vocals, “Honest” paints a thoughtful portrayal of the frustration of feeling stuck in love’s repeating cycles. This poignant R&B/soul single serves as a tender invitation for listeners to reflect on their own experiences with heartache, offering a sense of healing through its authenticity.

So press play and let “Honest” accompany you on the journey of overcoming heartbreak.
