Packed with a soulful, vaporous beat, ‘Butterflies’ does a good job of evoking the song’s poignant, romantic character, supporting LTB’s relatable storytelling with elegance and charisma. Drenched in R&B and pop glory, the record feels extremely contemporary, with luscious synths triumphing alongside playful vocal samples and lo-fi-esque energy. In fact, the track’s buoyant, gentle livery is almost deceitful, contrasting with its heavier and gloomier songwriting.
Depicting the emotional roller-coaster often associated with a romantic relationship, LTB explores its good and bad sides. From its fairy beginnings to its devastating, painful end. As the American talent explains, “This song is about the realization that love isn’t always what it seems. It’s about feeling deceived yet unable to walk away – like being drawn to something beautiful, even when you know it burns.”
Such a dooming realization doesn’t stop LTB from packing ‘Butterflies’ with a healthy amount of sultry vibes, keeping true to its R&B identity. Love might not always be what it seems, but the Annapolis-based creative always delivers its artistic worth – here’s something positive! Catchy and dynamic, the record is bound to connect with a wide audience out there, and rightly so.
