This one-room apartment was supposed to be a little too small for two people. Yet, standing alone in this space after you packed up all your belongings and left, it feels astonishingly vast-and unbearably cold. This definitive sense of loss from a heartbreak and the sheer emptiness of the room are captured in an electronica track with a modern future garage and ambient texture. To completely avoid any overlap with previous flowing melody lines, the song adopts a melody of stark contrasts, elongating the vocals into a wide, freezing expanse before plunging them instantly to the absolute bottom. An "aesthetic of subtraction" that strips away unnecessary chords and beats to the absolute limit, this trendy, introspective downer number vividly conveys the true temperature of an emptied room.
