Baltimore-based artist Icarus Phoenix has released a new single titled "Hatillo 2" on September 6, 2024. This track follows last month’s acclaimed full-length album, "I Should Have Known the Things You Never Said," which received extensive coverage.
The songwriting prowess of Drew Danburry, the frontman of Icarus Phoenix, continues to be highlighted in this latest offering. Danburry describes the track as a deeper exploration of relationships and their complexities. He clarifies that although the song may be interpreted as metaphorical for the end of a relationship, it draws upon a deeply personal experience from his time in San Jose, Costa Rica. "It involves an actual death that I witnessed/experienced and a reflection on that particular relationship I had," he explains.
Musically, "Hatillo 2" showcases a blend of warm guitar tones complemented by lush piano arrangements that create a contemplative atmosphere. The lyricism reflects a poignant examination of human relationships, encapsulated in lines like, "It’s strange to me how we’ll only be / The best of friends or worst enemies, nothing in-between."
