Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and if you needed any evidence of that saying’s truth, Desitny Briona’s newest project, i’m not crying, u are, is available across all streaming platforms. The 12-track project finds The Girl From Atlanta taking aim at an ex (or multiple exes), but she’s far from grieving the relationship. Rather, the emerging southern singer is ready to air her ex out, regain control of her peace, and move on in the process.
“F—k me?” she asks to open the project’s second track, “Third Degree.” “No, f—k you. I wish I never got this tattoo. I mean, I wish I could be straight [because] I could never love a n—a this way. You made hell seem like paradise. [You] turned my summers into cold nights.”
From shedding tears in first class and regrettable tattoos to Don Julio-induced decisions and nights out in New Orleans, Destiny Briona’s project is a 31-minute deep dive not only into her love life, but also the ups and downs that a lot of people deal with in their own love lives. In its totality, i’m not crying, u are is not only a strong return for Destiny Briona, but it’s also a solid introduction for new listeners looking for something emotive, sharp, and will keep you playing it again and again.
