R&B group Cherish returned to music a month ago after a four-year hiatus with the new song “One Time,” and now they’re back with another treat called “Self Destruction.”
Unlike the previous release, the ballad “Self Destruction” shows a different side of the group as they paint a vivid picture about the rise and fall of a broken relationship that could ultimately end up toxic.
“Self Destruction” was written by Fallon and produced by super producer Cassius Jay. About the song, the group proclaims, “You’re going to feel happy, sad, and decades worth of influences from 80s to modern with this record.”
Going forward, Cherish plans to release a new song every week. They will also drop their EPs, Free The Lyrics 1 & 2 early this summer.
Since their hiatus, Cherish has been writing for artists such as Jacob Latimore, Tamar Braxton and Sevyn Streeter, but not they’re ready to treat their audience.
“Cherish – Self Destruction” is a poignant exploration of internal turmoil and the impact it has on one’s relationships. The song blends pop and R&B elements, creating a melancholic yet captivating atmosphere. The lyrics delve into the theme of personal battles, describing the downward spiral that can come from unresolved issues.
The melody’s moody undertones complement the narrative, enhancing the sense of introspection. It captures the feeling of being caught in a loop of destructive patterns, with each verse recounting moments of loss, doubt, and regret. The chorus, with its haunting repetition, underscores the urgency and gravity of the emotional struggle.
Vocally, Cherish conveys raw emotion, with harmonies that emphasize the desperation and vulnerability in the lyrics. The instrumentation is understated but impactful, with a rhythmic beat that drives the song forward. As it unfolds, there’s a sense of both resignation and hope, suggesting that self-destruction, while painful, can also be a catalyst for change and growth.
Overall, “Cherish – Self Destruction” is a resonant portrayal of inner conflict and the challenging journey toward healing and self-awareness. It invites listeners to reflect on their own struggles and consider the possibility of finding light amid darkness.
