Carly Shea’s latest single, “Take It Personal,” is the type of song that sticks around, slick, intimate. Carly Shea, known for her magnetic fusion of indie pop and R&B, has once again crafted a musical universe that feels both cinematic and introspective. “Take It Personal” is a vibe, a scene, and another reason that no matter what breaks your heart in the future, there’s beauty in standing behind it.
“Take It Personal”, is a sound that is obvious you’re going to be sucked in by its laid-back swing and reflective vibe. It’s a slow burn that unspools like a memory, tender, dreamy, bittersweet. Carly’s voice, both warm and haunting, captures the push and pull of a love that was once, those highs that made you feel lifted to heaven and the lows that left you gasping for breath. Her vocals drift on with remarkable ease over butter-smooth production, creating an excellent space where emotion meets elegance.
The song’s emotional journey is perfectly mirrored in the accompanying music video, filmed in New York and directed by Matthew Canals. And it brings Carly’s introspection to life, coloring heartbreak not as an ending but as a head-clearing opportunity, with moody lighting and stylish visuals. Every frame feels considered here, from the thoughtful gazes to the gentle city backgrounds, which mirror the loneliness and beauty of surrender. With this release, Carly Shea proves why she is a cut above in today’s alt-pop terrain.
