Kenri Louis isn't pulling any punches in "Irrational." It's a real feeling with painted colors and a whirlwind of toxic relationships. Right from its first beat, "Irrational" draws you into Kenri's world, one of burning hot passion, decisions that don't always add up, and the heart frequently superseding the mind.
The production is a lesson in blending genres, incorporating dancehall trap drums with the soulful reverberations of gospel and the fluid surfaces of R&B. It seems remarkably fresh and familiar, like a late-night snatch of conversation with your restless thoughts. The beats, infused with dancehall, give it a hypnotic pulse; the gospel undertones add spiritual tension, an internal battle against destructive urges.
Kenri strips it all down, addressing the sense of being trapped, played, and dragged down by these feelings that cannot be explained. It's a confession of the soul fully clothed in melody. His voice bears the marks of the frustration and pain of someone struggling with feelings that can't be controlled, so every word lands with a potent authenticity.
"Irrational" resonates with anyone who has ever wondered why they're doing what they're doing, stuck in the gravitational pull of a toxic bond. Kenri Louis has made a song that sounds good and feels authentic, and sometimes, that's just what we need.
