We recently featured two songs by Red Skies Mourning, the emotive, Lost Without You and the ethereal, In The Moment, so we were thrilled to hear that the rising artist from Baltimore was releasing a new single, Where You Been?.
Setting the mood with a pulsing and dimensional synthscape, Red Skies Mourning opens Where You Been? with the introspective lyrics, “Paradise, was hard to see through my eyes…”
The song expands to deliver an emotive electropop bop with elements of dance and the multi-genre sensibilities that Red Skies Mourning is becoming known for.
Speaking on the meaning of Where You Been?, Red Skies Mourning says, “The song was written about myself being emotionally unavailable and only realizing it when I unintentionally hurt someone that I cared about deeply.”
“Realizing that, and taking a hiatus to find myself, love myself and understand myself, so I can understand and love others just the same”, he continues vulnerably and authentically.
The dreamy indie-pop song encapsulates the feeling of love at first sight and takes us on an emotive and passionate journey of self-realization. Where You Been? really demonstrates the artist’s vocal range and we love the euphoric energy that the track brings with emotive expansion and contraction.
In the middle eight, he sings “Hold me, like you want to, like you need to, like there’s no one left here…” before the song delivers an epic final chorus that leaves us longing for more.
We have added Where You Been? to our New Music Spotlight playlist and continue streaming Red Skies Mourning’s wider discography!
