The new gem "Know It's Real" by Cool Company illustrates that without vulnerability, there’s no path to experiencing the highs and lows of life, both of which are blessings.
The Brooklyn-based duo makes a futuristic kind of r&b that not only welcomes listeners to diverse instrumental flavors, but also serves us food for thought through their lyricism. "I only know it's real when it hurts, or when it feels like it's heaven on Earth," is the opening line of the second verse and beautifully captures the sentiment above. The bare-boned instrumental made up of percussion and glossy guitars act as the perfect canvas for Cool Company's poetic songwriting. It emphasizes the intimate vocal performance and the purpose behind the lyrics.
