Intravknows and Xtina Louise give a groovy blueprint to love in “Dating App Introvert”

Honk Magazine Default

Intravknows is back with a lighthearted, yet heartfelt addition to his summer series, and this go-round, he’s jumping right into the muck of modern dating. “Dating App Introvert,” showcasing the silky voice of Xtina Louise, renders a hilarious and relatable anthem for introverts all over in the often awkward world of dating apps.

The song’s appeal is its steadfast candor. Intravknows takes that tricky balance of trying to make a connection with someone on the internet, when every swipe and message feels freighted with possibilities, and sets it to an earworm of an indie-pop hook impossible not to hum along to. It’s a witty reminder that, while dating apps offer instant connections, true love can take courage, time, and perhaps a potent whiff of self-awareness.

Xtina Louise’s vocals are the ideal match to Intravknows’ witty storytelling, and her warm and a little sassy tone makes it seem like you’re hearing a conversation with your best friend. There’s a lightness in the track that encourages listeners to follow suit and not recoil from awkwardness, but embracing it is a more complex behavior to find, which makes fidgeting around into musical playfulness despite what feels like an opening for rage.

“Dating App Introvert” is also a soft guide for anyone who is an introvert working their way through the confusing world of online dating. With chuckle-worthy lyrics and an infectious rhythm, it’s the type of song that encourages others to cut through the noise, be themselves, and maybe, just maybe, find that elusive connection. Intravknows reminds us once again that his music is about connecting to the honest truths of how we live and feel in this modern age.
