Stewart Taylor's new single, "EVEN," portrays the unfiltered emotion of a romance fracturing in real time. Saturated with glittering 80s synths and a thumping Europop backbone, this raucous anthem is a confession, a realization, and, ultimately, a resolution. "EVEN" intoxicatingly bouncy beats pay homage to the golden age of MTV
while pushing the soundscape forward into something delightfully new.
It's danceable but highly introspective, an uncommon combo that balances
nostalgia and newfoundness.
They were once on the same page. Now, they are on opposite ends of the book, fighting in round after round instead of stacking memories, and when they do reach for a weapon, they put pitched battles into play rather than palatial plans. It's an understandable story of how passion can be a recipe for romance and contention and how, in no time, you're at war with the person you've just fallen for.
As Stewart longingly wishes for a time unit that can rewind to "freeze frame" those gilded moments of tenderness, he realizes that vengeance-fueled love is no love. Through soaring melodies and poignant lyrics, he acknowledges the pain but refuses to be defined by it. Rather than sinking further into resentment, he dares to walk away with his dignity unscathed.
Whether you've experienced anything like that yourself or love a synthy pop banger, Stewart's journey from love to loss through self-actualization strikes a chord. It's a reminder that in even the most toxic relationships, there's always an exit route paved with healing, forgiveness, and a little self-love. But with "EVEN," Stewart shows that, sometimes, walking away is about the most decisive move of all.
