Queer singer-songwriter Vivi Rincon has released her anthemic new single, “can’t breathe” today. Carried by hopeful guitar, piano, strings and emotional, relatable lyrics, the track can be heard now below.
Vivi says of the song, “’can’t breathe’ is about the intensity of relationships. It’s about passion and love and losing yourself in someone else. Holding on so tightly out of fear that you might lose her, but willing to take the risk.”
Her skill as a songwriter is evidenced in her ability to evoke emotion as told through quiet moments and familiarities. Waxing poetic of “waking up at 2pm, instant coffee, medicine” and of a “tv show about to get good and then they cancel it,” “can’t breathe” attempts to tether itself to glimpses of reality amidst a sweeping whirlwind of passion. Vivi’s authenticity is sure to resonate with both her dedicated social media following and to any lovestruck listener.
