Cherri V has just unveiled her latest single, Ready 4 Love,  a vivid exploration of unrequited love that hits hard in all its resonant and bittersweet beauty. This soulful serenade is the third cut from her highly anticipated album, The Red Journal, slated for release this coming August.

Cherri V – Ready 4 Love (Visualizer)

Ready 4 Love is an elegy to the struggle of longing for someone who remains tantalisingly out of reach. It’s a sonic tribute to the yearning for a love that may never be reciprocated. It carries an emotional weight that feels all too familiar and crushingly real.

Cherri showcases her artistry with a stripped-back acoustic arrangement that gives space for her emotive vocals to truly shine. Each verse is a raw outpouring, and every chorus is a heart-wrenching echo of a relatable experience of unrequited love. Yet, amidst the anguish, there’s a bold undertone of self-realisation that adds a layer of resilience to the narrative.

Perhaps the most striking element of the track is its honesty. The lyrics, like “I’ll never be good enough/For a man who isn’t ready for love” and “I know I’m good enough/It ain’t me, it’s you,” ring with stark truth and self-affirmation. It’s a timely reminder for listeners that even in the face of rejection, it’s important to acknowledge one’s self-worth.

In her characteristic style, Cherri doesn’t shy away from delving into the intricacies of unfulfilled love. Through her expressive lyrics and captivating vocals, she paints a poignant picture that leaves a lasting impression. The soulfulness of the melody blends seamlessly with the evocative lyrics, striking a chord that resonates deeply with listeners.

Ready 4 Love is a deeply personal anthem that promises to leave you reflective and possibly reaching for the replay button. It’s a potent preview of what’s to come in Cherri’s forthcoming album, The Red Journal.
