Sunkissed Child sheds the polished veneer of contemporary soul to reveal something far more primal on her gritty comeback single, ‘I Said It.’

Moving beyond the soft tropes of R&B, the track plunges into a raw, borderless world of its own, fusing Alternative R&B with heavy electronica through distorted guitars and visceral drums set against luscious, floaty synth patterns. ‘I Said It’ delivers an honest narrative on the jagged realities of heartbreak and the sobering realisation that some souls are simply not meant to align. It explores a total dichotomy of emotion, pivoting from quiet vulnerability to a punchy, “gone rogue”, shout-it-from-the-top-of-your-lungs delivery. With this track, it feels as though the cuffs have finally been removed for Sunkissed Child, allowing her to unclothe her anger and unleash a captivating story and performance that demand an immediate reaction.

‘I Said It’ is an unapologetic, “love it or hate it” type of record; a commitment to experimentation that proves Sunkissed Child’s artistry thrives most when the boundaries are completely stripped away.
