Chandra Rhyme Unveils Stunning New Video For “Bullet”
US recording artist Chandra Rhyme has unveiled her latest single, “Bullet”, and its accompanying visuals. The independent Pittsburgh-based artist has already accumulated hundreds of thousands of streams on Spotify with previous singles, despite only arriving on the R&B scene last year, and she looks set to continue her impressive rise with this latest release.
“Bullet” is an undeniable winner, highlighting Chandra’s impressive songwriting along with her gorgeous and silky vocals. Inspired to write the song by a Tyler Perry TV show, it talks about being in a toxic relationship and is infused with additive melodies and a huge singalong anthemic hook that will no doubt be stuck in everyone’s head after just one listen. With its enormous replay value, it’s clear this is a track from an artist with a bright future ahead, who will surely be making huge waves over the next year, and “Bullet” decisively makes it known that Chandra Rhyme is one to watch.
Speaking further on the release, Chandra says, “I wrote this song after watching one of my favourite shows at the time called The Haves and the Have Nots by Tyler Perry. There’s a character named Wyatt on the show that struggles with drug addiction. At that moment, a light bulb went off in my mind where I wanted to take that concept and relate it to love. ‘Bullet’ is about being in a toxic relationship and being addicted to someone that you know is not good for you. In the end, you wind up staying and ‘biting the bullet’. You know this relationship is not good for you but because of how much you love this person, you still want them in your life, and it is hard to let go. No matter how much you try, you just can’t give them up.” “Bullet” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms.

personalheartbreaker and ENCASSATOR unpack manipulation, obsession and remorse on “Sorry Eyed”
“Sorry Eyed” is a dark shoegaze and alternative rock ballad by personalheartbreaker and ENCASSATOR that explores the space between obsession, emotional dependence, manipulation, and remorse. The new single slowly reveals how reliance is a form of oppression, not just weakness. The result is a psychologically complex song that pulls you into a relationship where trust and exploitation are not mutually exclusive.
The track takes an unsettling emotional turn through its manipulator’s perspective in “Sorry Eyed.” At first, the narrator seems dependent on another person, as if they need comfort, connection, or support. But as the story progresses, that openness starts to resemble exploitation. The song’s heart is the power imbalance, where regret always clashes with self-interest.
This struggle gives the song its emotional weight, because the narrator knows the damage he’s causing but is still addicted to the perks of manipulation. The accompanying music video arrives September 30th and carries that story further with the angel’s trust, devotion, and sacrifice. What begins with faith in a fellow man ends in destruction and offers visual counterpoint to the song’s themes.
“Sorry Eyed” is a collaboration with ENCASSATOR, who produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered the song and played a major role in its development. That full creative engagement helps shape the single into one cohesive piece, where the track’s dark alternative rock, shoegaze identity doesn’t detract from the story but supports it. “Sorry Eyed” is a strong pick for fans who love exploring manipulation and complicated relationships.

“Hell has frozen over” finds Sarina choosing peace over being understood
Sarina’s new track, “Hell has frozen over,” explores the less dramatic, more complicated moment of reaching the end of the road, being gaslit, ignored, rejected, and painfully lonely. It translates the emotional burnout into a rock-pop context that’s easy to understand.
“Hell has frozen over” focuses on the decision to step away, instead of explaining, defending, or seeking understanding from people who refuse to listen. The rock foundation gives it the right weight, the pop influence makes it accessible, and the focus stays on the emotional message.
Sarina’s art is the struggle of loss and being strong in yourself. It’s about understanding that protecting your peace is more important than being understood. And that’s the emotional balance that gives the release its character so that the subject matter has relevance beyond a particular circumstance.
“Hell has frozen over“ is a relief from the burden of carrying on a debate that will never be resolved. Sarina turns an experience of isolation into a statement about boundaries, resilience, and the choice not to get caught in the same cycle. The result is a record that’s at its best when it’s being true to what it feels like to finally be free from whatever has been holding you down.
