Setting the tone with keys and astral vocal add libs, Cristal B. opens Better Off with charisma and situational prose as she sings, “Never realised how much I lost when I caught you lying, never knew what it was like to be invisible until I was standing next to you…”
The opus expands with emotional depth and poetic prowess as Cristal B. takes us on a journey through her spirit and lived experience. We learn that the rising star sings about “the moment when you realize you’ve truly moved on from someone and how freeing that realization is.”
The relatable theme of a toxic relationship can often “leave us feeling like a shadow of the person we once were before them”, and Cristal B. has designed Better Off “to remind us that we can get to a better place eventually, one where we can finally meet ourselves again and feel the sweet relief of leaving the past behind.”
We deeply connect with the intention of the composition, and the stunning vocal range that the star exhibits as she showcases her authenticity and wisdom. Fans of Adele, Lana Del Rey, and Taylor Swift will definitely be able to connect with Better Off, although it is clear that Cristal B. is creating a universe of her own.
We have added Better Off to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Cristal B.‘s wider discography including Happy Instead, My Therapist, and Do You Regret It?
