Twisted Key puts out "Star" in a hush of warm strings and unfiltered emotion, and this latest release is an incredibly personal one for the artist, rooted in introspection, and with it comes reconciliation and the silent bravery that comes with openness.
The instruments in "Star" are so melodic that they leave space for the vocals to really hit home. Its melody unfolds like a memory, mostly in soft variations on an acoustic guitar. "Star" is primarily about revisiting the past, making peace with it, and seeing strength in weakness. It's as though the silence is ending, and now words that weren't formed are at last being spoken.
The song is full because it is an open door, and it says confronting what's unfinished is growth. The singing is potent, and that balance of raw emotion and steady control is ideal. Each line feels as if it had been labored over, chiseled from experience.
"Star" is for anyone who's ever rehearsed the same conversation, again and again in their head, who's wanted to scream that one word they just can't spit out, but hadn't quite found the courage. Twisted Key is here to remind all of us that often the bravest thing we can do is return when our heart has been hurt by an event or person, and try again, regardless, and this time, let's tell the whole truth. "Star" by Twisted Key is a gentle, potent song that swells into an acoustic anthem of peacefulness and release.
