When TRS turns on her camera, the glow of her sunset lamp lights up her face and arches across the walls behind her. It’s fitting for the warmth she exudes. She takes her time, answering each question with care and softly smiling or leaning forward with laughter; her energy is simultaneously grounding and uplifting, approachable and charming.
TRS’ music and songwriting are introspective and soulful. Her recent single, “Fallin’,” invites listeners into her personal reflection, as she recognizes her cycle of rushing into love, instead of taking time with herself. Listeners are immediately transported by the track’s sample to the sensation of slowly moving downwards, underwater, leading us to TRS’ silky vocals and into her world.
In “Fallin’,” TRS begins to recognize the ways she’s holding herself back from healing, but the work that follows is gradual and nonlinear. Her verses are accompanied by a piano part that attracts listeners into a separate realm–the bliss of being in love–and at other times, in moments of clarity and realisation, there is only the underlying drums and bass. Produced by FiveGawd, “Fallin’” is the second track of TRS’ upcoming EP “Respectfully,” which answers what comes after awareness: challenges, but also healing through oneself and one’s community.
