The duo masterfully balances Bertie’s bare-bones acoustic vulnerability with Savanna’s crystalline vocals to unpack the masks we wear in relationships. By trading surface-level safety for uncomfortable honesty, they create an indie-folk gem that feels both intimate and universal. It is a hauntingly beautiful reminder that unconditional love requires total self-acceptance, delivered through a delicate harmony that lingers long after the final chord.
