Rawlanda's latest offering is "Paranoid," a haunting, sultry-tinged R&B offering that stays with you well after the last note drops. This song is a confession, a diary page ripped open for everyone to hear. With "Paranoid," Rowland shows that sometimes the most frightening place to be is by yourself with your mind.
Rawlanda invites you into the unraveling mind of a woman on the verge of trust and heartbreak by aligning smooth, hypnotic melodies with a raw, improvised vocal tack. Before adding her emotional lyrics in layers, the production that she created sets the stage beautifully for a compelling story.
"Paranoid" is the gnawing uncertainty wrought by love when actions don't match words. A man's dubious actions with another woman set off a cycle of reason to doubt, leaving his partner grappling with what's real and imagined. Rawlanda chronicles this inner conflict with hypnotic tenderness, conveying each sting of anguish, each pang of rage, and each thrum of bewilderment that follows.
"Paranoid" shows how Rawlanda mixes smooth R&B runs with something that communicates insistence and engagement. It's a song that feels like a midnight drive through the city, with windows down, thoughts racing, and a heavy heart.
