Most artists use their medium to express their deepest innermost emotions, and Leoblu has effectively mastered this skill. “Backlash,” as a single, isn’t simply a breakup anthem but a reimagining of self-empowerment and fulfillment.

Finding fulfillment and value within outer relationships is natural, but Leoblu is taking the power back, understanding deep layers of emotion that lead to true liberation—it’s cool stuff!

Though deeply resonant, the lyrics avoid too much fluff, utilizing language that can hook listeners immediately. This seems to be the focus throughout the song; though simple, the instrumentation is not understated, instead fitting the overall vibes perfectly.

An excellent hint of strings adds a dramatic flair to the arrangement, allowing Leoblu to express her points eloquently.

Plus, the music video for the song adds new layers of meaning and depth. It’s a collaborative effort between Leoblu and her brother, Jonathan. This collaboration showcased the exploration of different kinds of relationships that the song touches on. It’s an artistic piece that’s worth the watch!
