The lyrical talent that is Arlo Parks, releases new single ‘Hurts’.
The subject of the track is about the topic of loss. There’s always an endearing innocence in her vocal delivery that offers reassurance and inclusion, you can’t help but feel soothed by her delivery.
Discussing ‘Hurts’ further, Parks explains,
“‘Hurt’ surrounds the possibility of healing from pain and the temporary nature of suffering,” she explains. “It is supposed to uplift and comfort those going through hard times.”
