Raw emotion and vulnerability are quickly becoming synonymous with the name Hetta Falzon, and her latest single, ‘The Rabbit Hole’ is no different. Soulful vocals and gut-wrenching lyrics work in unity to create a track that is equal parts beautiful and devastating.
A tale of deep insecurity, the track is nothing but honest. Poignant lyrics such as “I’m the talk of the town” and “My friends drop like flies / And it tends to surprise me how soon / I change my tune” perfectly embody the essence of the song; the feelings of loneliness and melancholia are depicted flawlessly. ‘The Rabbit Hole’ is a masterclass in cinematic intensity - as the track progresses, the orchestral production is amplified, highlighting feelings of anxiety.
Nostalgia seeps through every aspect of this track - the classic jazz harmonies are comforting and reassuring. The grand production which characterises the track is nothing short of spectacular - Falzon has clearly perfected the art of cinematic storytelling. If this track makes one thing clear, it is that Falzon was born to perform majestically.
The tender track is quintessential Falzon; velvety vocals and poetic lyrics blend together to create a soulful world. From this track and previous work alike, it is evident that Falzon’s biggest inspirations are jazz legends such as Norah Jones. With the incredible growth of her career thus far, it is fair to say that Falzon is following in her footsteps - a bright future is ahead of her.
