The track is from the Australian artist’s acclaimed new album Fire
On her expansive and nuanced new single ‘Cuts Me Up’, Holly Wild experiments with chilled out trap effects and future bass elements to create a dynamic and distinctive tone that feels both hard and soft simultaneously, mirroring a conflicted narrative that is packed full of thoughtful charm and the artist’s raw and relatable writing.
The track explores the conflicted feelings and pain caused by a breakup, even when you’re the person who instigated it, with the artist using a tactful metaphor about feeling “cut up” despite being the one with the knife and it being the other person who is bleeding. The track does a great job of showcasing a nuanced and distinctive side to a breakup that will feel relatable to a lot of listeners, and the expansive and engrossing nature of the sound as a whole does a great job of bringing it to life even further.
