R&B artist INDVGO explores the emotional depths of love and self-discovery with poignant new single, "How Is It Love"
Brooklyn, NY (February 4, 2025) – Emerging R&B sensation INDVGO is poised to captivate audiences with her deeply introspective new single, "How Is It Love". Known for her evocative lyrics and genre-blending sound, INDVGO takes listeners on a journey through the raw, complex emotions of love—the highs, the lows, and everything in between.
"How Is It Love" is a soulful exploration of the contradictions of love and the resilience that comes from healing. Haunting melodies and smooth, sensual vocals amplify the emotional depth, making it a cathartic experience for listeners. The song’s lyrics, written by the artist herself, delve into the internal battle of being deeply in love yet feeling trapped by its complexities. Lines like "Now loving you just feels home" and "I'm healed, no need to cause you pain" suggests that while love has been a source of pain, it also empowers one to move forward into new relationships. The track’s chorus, repeating "How is it love?" challenges the romanticized ideals of love and instead embraces its messy, often painful reality. While INDVGO candidly explores heartbreak and healing, she speaks to the universal journey of self-discovery and empowerment and addresses the emotional labor often carried by women in relationships, making it an anthem of strength and self-love.
“‘How Is It Love’ is really about emotional chaos and finding peace within yourself. Healing starts when you fall deeply in love with your own soul...This song is my way of processing the contradictions of love—the pain, the comfort, the resilience.”
