Black Honey shares sharp lyrical offering “Shallow”

British rock band Black Honey shares swaggering anthem “Shallow,” offering enticing peek at new album 'Soak.'

British rock band Black Honey shares swaggering anthem “Shallow,” giving us an enticing peek at their forthcoming album Soak. With sharp lyricism that points a finger at the world that favours surface over substance, the alluring production weaves emotional resonance and experimental sonic tones for a powerful experience.

Rooted in a stream-of-consciousness writing style, the track reflects on being a hypocrite and still participating in a social discourse despite feeling shy and uncomfortable. Summing up the human social experience of the current world with an intensely intimate yet relatable approach, the track shows Black Honey at the cusp of a new musical era.

With the band’s upcoming album set to weave a hazy and dreamy world that shifts from the gothic to the psychedelic, their newest single sees Black Honey continue to traverse a defiant musical path that feels familiar and refreshing all at once.
