It’s a distinct kind of resilience and suppression when we find ourselves infatuated with those already in relationships. The complexity of having to move on from this person while our hearts still whisper a susurration of attraction despite the unfortunate reality of such a heartbreak. Staying friends with this person would cause almost tempestuous damage, doing more harm than good due to the simple fact that it would be nearly impossible to stay friends when our hearts know the truth of our unfulfilled feelings of love. It would be a constant battle, fighting off our true feelings, masking them behind fake emotions, and pretending we’re completely okay with staying friends rather than acting on our true feelings. Jenna Kay, in her recent single titled “Can’t Be Friends” depicts similar complex emotions in the form of a song where Jenna utilizes her story-telling abilities to create a scenario that a plethora of listeners could possibly find themselves relating to. Jenna also perfectly captures the pain of having to let go and set aside those burgeoning feelings of deep emotion.
This song serves as an almost experimentation for our artist, Jenna, where she explores a more seductive-like tune that sets her apart from her usual sound. Despite this sound being something Jenna was only testing the waters in, the song’s innate charm and catchy tune are absolutely undeniable. The lyrics flow effortlessly with the melody which makes it so easy for listeners to sing along, repeating the lyrics like a mantra, the catchy tempo encouraging us to move our heads along to the infectious beat. Jenna’s voice serves as another instrument in itself, perfuming the space with such vehement emotion that only adds to the powerful lyrics– provoking listeners with similar emotions the song describes, resonating with former recollections. As I listened to the song, I recognized just how much a song like this could resonate with so many listeners. Yet, not only is it a song listeners would find themselves relating to, but also one that listeners can find themselves enjoying– with the ambiance Jenna had so exceptionally created through her talented story-telling skills that provoke deep emotions in her listeners.
