Give me a seductively, soothing piece of music and I become consumed. After all, there is always a power that moody tunes have to really reflect your vibe on the more complex days in the year. There is a special place for music that fits you like a glove on days like this, nothing beats the feeling of searching through Spotify to find that playlist that matches exactly how you feel, especially when life has us feeling misunderstood within the plethora of emotions that accumulate on our more complex. So as life would have it, I came across a tune, that had a fulfilling yet sombre energy, which at first I indulged in momentarily, however after yet another casual scroll through Insta, a sponsored post caught my attention and left me fixated in my fleeting need to feel understood.
Romy Dya, soothes listeners with her intense emotions through her latest track, Unspoken. The three minute ballad greets you with gentle strumming we are guided through the vocalisation of her vulnerability and heartbreak.

“Her sound so mellow it transports you to a place of understanding, her emotion impeccably transparent in her wailing”
Her echoey vocals, in this track, are drenched in a thick, sultry layer of passion. Her sound so mellow it transports you to a place of understanding, her emotion impeccably transparent in her wailing. Smooth yet solid, her sound is waxy, gratifying in solemn relatability but somewhat comforting in that exact honesty.
