Born I offers a soulful sigh of relief with "Being Enough"

In "Being Enough," Born I lays it all out bare, with zero ego, zero noise, and no façade, nothing but breath, beats, and brutal honesty. As the last single before his forthcoming full-length album, "Komorebi," this track doesn't come in with fireworks as much as it does with something even more potent: stillness. It's not often you hear a song that has been produced for your soul rather than for your playlist. "Being Enough" encourages you to sit with yourself, to honor the messy beauty of your becoming. Whether you are in the thick of your recovery or only just now getting your bearings, the song meets you there.

The production is remarkably minimalist, almost monastic in its restraint: no gimmicky plays or over-layering choruses attempting to outdo the message. Instead, there is ample space around the words, and the readers are left room to breathe, to reflect, and perhaps to even start healing. The beat is barely perceptible, a soothing crib for Born I's bare truth-telling.

A meditative examination of self-worth and being present, "Being Enough" is not only a song but a state of mind. Born's voice flows like a calm current of spoken word and soul-baring sermon all mashed up. His delivery is intimate and down-to-earth in a way that makes you stop scrolling and pay attention. While openness is a theme here, it feels like the pulse of the track.

And both sing to the soul because they are so emotionally accessible to us that what makes "Being Enough" so resonant is the core of the message. It reminds us that being here, being genuine, and just being yourself is all that's needed. And when so much of our self-worth seems inextricably tied to output, likes, or status, that's a life raft. While we wait for the full arrival of 'Komorebi,' 'Being Enough' feels like a soft yet profound parting of the clouds, the sign of an album that could promise more than music, but meaning.
