This song leaves a definite impact on your soul at first listen. It’s the color of a hazy golden halo. Ivy Sole’s lyrics are revelatory, purging, desiring, and dreaming. “I wanna shake beneath the covers, shape-shift into a bevy of light, I wanna sink into a heavy delight.” The music is simple, featuring whistles and soft piano keys – moving like ocean waves beneath the storytelling of the artist. It is one of those songs you find few times in a lifetime. Iojii’s feature exemplifies the religious undertones of the song, they highlight the feeling of chasing infinity, through the hardship “What’s concrete to a rose? Still on my feet I rose.” The meaning of “kismet” is fate, and the song is a hopeful ode to honoring your destiny by recognizing it. The final line burns into the head of the listener as it flows through the ears into the veins “you can call it the same difference, but au contraire we don’t travel the same distance, follow the same stars, or swallow the same tempest.”
