Swedish Constine explores family secrets in a vulnerable dark-pop track ‘NEVER’

With Constine’s raspy guttural voice and self-produced dark and tribal beats, the song’s message is a vulnerable yet ​​​​​​​unapologetic “enough is enough”. From the textured synths, the lo-fi dramatic chorus to the children’s choir in the outro – ‘Never’ is personal and moving in its subtle confrontation, from beginning to end.​​​​​​​
 Constine explains:

 

“Let’s pretend that we could never die, let’s pretend that none of this is a lie. It’s easy to do that, to keep your eyes shut for things you don’t want to see. To hear about the problems but choose not to listen. It’s better not to let anyone see you cry, they might think you’re weak and you don’t want that. But you cannot keep the charade up forever, things will come crashing down and so will you.

 

Mom, I love you. It’s alright to cry.”
