SKINGROVE's "My Lips" is a tender anthem for the vulnerable

In a society that so often rewards facades instead of our true selves, SKINGROVE goes against the grain. With their new song, "My Lips," that artist beckons listeners into that same space, where healing commences, not in seclusion, but by speaking out gently, fully, and without guilt or self-consciousness. No matter where you are in your healing process or in the process of learning to be OK with not being OK, there's room for you on this song. It doesn't rush you and doesn't try to fix you, but sits with you, a shoulder to lean on.

The tender vocal approach packs an emotional punch without feeling heavy-handed. The voice is tender, but strong, and it feels like a reminder that openness is a kind of courage, not a weakness. And therein lies the force of SKINGROVE's sound: not loud, but true. In a landscape of songs that chase trends and seek to say the most, "My Lips" feels refreshing in its gentle resolution. It does not shout, just talks, and in the process, it signals to others that they may do the same.

"My Lips" is a hushed conversation between best friends. There's no poseur-izing here, no over-styled production getting in the way of letting the song's message shine on through. In its place, we receive a raw, emotionally exposed performance that at once is intimate and universally recognizable. The lyrics are not poetic, but they are purposeful, plumbing the depths of human beings' need to express, connect, and be understood.
