Emerging R&B artist INDVGO returns with a deeply introspective and emotionally rich single, “How Is It Love”, released on February 4, 2025.
Known for her evocative lyricism and genre-blending sound, INDVGO takes listeners on a journey through the complexities of love, highlighting both its healing power and the pain it often brings. With smooth, ethereal production and raw vocal delivery, this track is a heartfelt exploration of love’s contradictions, making it a fitting release just in time for Valentine’s Day.
“How Is It Love” challenges the romanticized ideals of love, offering a more nuanced perspective on relationships, self-discovery, and emotional resilience. The song’s haunting melodies and sensual vocals add layers of depth, while the introspective lyrics speak to a universal experience of love’s push-and-pull dynamic.
INDVGO delivers lines like “Now loving you just feels home” and “I’m healed, no need to cause you pain”, reflecting on the process of moving on while still carrying the weight of past love.
The song’s chorus repeatedly asks “How is it love?”, questioning whether love should feel painful or whether it can exist without emotional turmoil. In many ways, the track serves as both an anthem of heartbreak and a declaration of self-love, particularly resonating with those who have carried emotional labor in relationships.
Drawing inspiration from artists like Jhené Aiko, Summer Walker, and Kehlani, INDVGO seamlessly blends R&B, hip-hop, and alternative influences into her sound. The song’s nostalgic undertones – evident in lyrics like “Loving on each other like it’s ‘93 / 3am chilling, you know where I be” – give it a timeless quality, making it both deeply personal and widely relatable.
With its atmospheric instrumentation and layered production, How Is It Love is an intimate listening experience that showcases INDVGO’s ability to balance vulnerability and empowerment. As an artist rooted in the vibrant pulse of New York City, INDVGO continues to create music that captures the raw energy of life’s highs and lows, proving once again that she is a rising force in contemporary R&B.
