Kenyan native tg.blk has a distinct vision for her sound. Now based in Maryland, her music strikes an unparalleled balance between breathtaking vocal performances and infectious melodies. Jumping between hip-hop, R&B, and pop, tg.blk subverts expectations to make the music she wants to make. Her new single  "Love Being Used" is a perfect example.

"Love Being Used" may only be one-and-a-half minutes, but tg.blk makes quite the statement in its short runtime. The track blends R&B and pop, merging old school sounds to provide a refreshingly modern context. Beyond the captivating sonic choices, the song also features powerful lyrical content.  "'Love Being Used' is me being honest about the toxicity and pain I put myself through just to feel loved while being painfully aware of the situation I put myself in. This song is my ode to painful queer young love,"  shares tg.blk.

It's still very early in tg.blk's career, but  "Love Being Used" is a demonstration of her incredible potential. If her growing catalogue is any indication of what's to come, then definitely get familiar with the artist while you can still claim you're early.
