Kids In Glass Houses return with an exciting new instalment in their musical legacy, revealing "Vulnerable," the latest taste from their hugely anticipated fifth album 'Pink Flamingo.' A beguiling progression from their sound, this track adopts a more relaxed aesthetic while delving into the raw, personal emotions that arise when you open your heart to someone. "Vulnerable" describes that exhilarating, but fragile, moment in love when you make yourself truly visible. The band deftly combines the exhilaration of vulnerability with fear of being exposed, spinning a yarn that feels both singular to them and one to which we can all relate.
It's a hug to the boldness required to trust another with one's innermost self, and the loveliness that can blossom as a result. The song's laid-back instrumentals create the ideal setting for sincere lyrics that make a great song to simply sit and think to. "Vulnerable" doesn't blink for the bittersweetness of intimacy. The story in the band's music compels fans to reflect on their own experiences of trust, fear, and hope, and it delivers the song rooted in truth. It's this raw intensity that takes the single above and beyond just a love song, it's a song for everyone who's ever been so bold to put their guard down.
Kids In Glass Houses show once again how well they adapt with each album, and "Vulnerable" is much the same. On a positive note, it amplifies their music into something that reflects them on a deeper level while also pushing the sound of KIGH further into new territories. "Vulnerable" is a song that reminds us to take a risk and be seen. But the truth is 'Pink Flamingo' has more surprises in store, and as Kids In Glass Houses delve us further into the tender, romantic territory of being human, let's see what happens next.
