Up-and-coming R&B artist Honey Blue has impressed me once again with her latest single “Like You Care.” This slow-burning ballad is a beautiful follow-up to her previous release, “Ready.” Honey Blue has one of those voices that draws you in and effortlessly gets underneath your skin. She shows the power of quiet restraint in this song, and in doing so perfectly captures the ache that can come when an important platonic connection becomes emotionally distant.
“It’s a letter shaped by silence — everything I carried, but never communicated,” Honey Blue explained. “In letting myself feel it fully, I found a quiet sense of resolve, and something softer that felt like hope.”
Honey Blue has been releasing some of the best R&B music I’ve heard this year. And it’s only May! Expect her to keep the momentum going in the months ahead.
