Hunxho has been through his fair share of relationship drama, some of which he goes into on his new single "Intimate Relationships." This first single for his upcoming album For Her 2, set for release on September 19, is a minimal and heart-ached response to a cheating partner whom he can't seem to let go of.
The lyrics speak a lot about accountability, reciprocity, and the difference between sexuality and intimacy. As for the "Nasty" spitter's flow and delivery, his heavy auto-tune overbears, but his melancholy performance fits the tone of the track. While it doesn't change or evolve structurally, even some of his most pained relationships cuts in the past did not sound this bare and slow, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
That's because a sole hi-hat hit is all the percussion accompanying some wistful guitar lines, atmospheric synth pads, and lonely piano keys. Some vocal sampling also helps to build out the background, but it's definitely a production void that the Cry For Help collaborator uses to convey the sadness of "Intimate Relationships." It's the type of cut that might go in one ear and out the other unless you unfortunately have a reason to connect to the narrative.
We'll see what Hunxho's next relationship challenges are amid his divisive fling with Keyshia Cole, which some fans think is over and others think is still aflame. Maybe he will address some of this directly, but For Her 2 will be a different kind of emotional confession.
Hunxho – "Intimate Relationships"
Quotable Lyrics
Could I let you in on my thoughts? I ain't nevеr did,
That with no other woman, I'd rather not let thеm in,
You had intimate relationships with other men,
But I still took you back and did that s**t again
