Marilyn Hucek returns with her new single, “Rebound.” Following Hucek after a breakup, rebound goes lengths into the denial and regret that come after such a tumultuous time in our lives. With the start of the song going into the idea of not wanting her ex-partner back, listeners expect Hucek to rebound with someone else–only to have Hucek subvert expectations and rebound with her ex-partner. Finding little excuses to find contact with her ex and have them come back together, Hucek denies that she made a mistake “asking for space,” leading to Hucek making excuses on behalf of her behavior, leading to prolonged feelings and messy drunk calls in the middle of the night to be able to keep her ex-partner in her life.
“Rebound” has that nostalgic, 2000’s production behind Hucek’s lyrics and vocals. With all the best parts of “Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer, including a guitar-heavy instrumentation and simplistic lyrics that capture the feeling Hucek is feeling, “Rebound” belongs in a romantic comedy like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days or He’s Just Not That Into You. Hucek’s lyrics in “Rebound,” while straight to the point, get the point across in fun, tongue-in-cheek references to breaking no contact and drunk calls at the bar to an ex. With “Rebound” coming out, listeners can’t help hearing it and imagining a night out with friends with a messy ending that involves their ex-partner.
