2/11/2022 - Off the heels of his vulnerable end of the year hit “kitchen floor”, pop artist clide greets fans ahead of Valentine's Day with an uptempo track entitled “hotel room”. Guitar-driven with a punky flair, this track introduces a new chapter for the new year as clide’s sound continues to evolve. Inspired by the feelings you catch for someone who has hurt you before, “hotel room” expresses the complexities of love that aren’t often discussed during this time of year. Love isn’t always a flawless Disney tale but rather, a difficult push and pull that sometimes….pulls you in the wrong direction. In “hotel room”, clide ends up falling back in love with his ex even though he knows that it’ll never actually work out. A message relatable to many, “hotel room” expresses how little control we have over our feelings and that it’s what we do with those feelings that determines our future.
“I’m cool, I’m cool with being friends, But I’m in your, in your bed again / I’m scared, too scared to make a move, Cause I can't fall back in love with you” ~ “hotel room”
