Taste Test: Nina Luna peels back her ‘Dark Heart’
The singer-songwriter tries to come to peace with a past heartbreak.
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
A blues-strung, swampy guitar clips at her heels, but she soon skips away like a fawn into the woodlands. “I’ve been up crying / Now my eyes are red like yours,” weeps Nina Luna. She unthreads her broken from her lover’s, casting tangled ends behind her, and even though the heartbreak may very well end her, she forges ahead anyway. With “Dark Heart,” the singer-songwriter ponders a past relationship, a connection that swiftly and severely erupted into mechanical failure. She was left drained and abandoned. In revisiting that moment, it floods and suffocates her senses all over again. “I let my baby go,” she croaks over an acoustic arrangement so brittle it nearly crumbles in her hands.
“Dark Heart” samples Luna’s new EP, Notes on a Decade of Romance, out everywhere now.
