The track’s marriage of trap beats and pop vocals feel as inspired as it does sultry.
The first thing that strikes you about Mary in the Mirror‘s new single ‘Pain’ is how strikingly cool it is. From the razor sharp, trap-infused beats, to the unerring composure and poise of the artist’s vocal performance, the track has a sense of guile and personality that feels well beyond it being the artist’s fourth track.
The marriage of these murky beats with her sultry, pop vocals feels inspired and gives it a foreboding sense of darkness, something that makes complete sense once lyrical themes of sexuality and pushing your limits and boundaries emerge. ‘Pain’ is a track that has this intoxicating allure to it that feels both unsettling and immersive, impossible to pull yourself away from. The track is a really stellar release from an artist just four releases down the line, and hints at an exciting future for Mary in the Mirror.
