Ray Noir claims that this song feels as though he’s “planning his own funeral”, and he’d be right – one thing’s for sure: he’s going out with a bang.
Everything about “Razorblade Romance” just sounds high quality, full, and well-put together. It’s definitely something that would get you jamming, something played and mixed at a club, a place where prejudice is typically forgotten, all for the sake of having a good time.
The track sounds exactly like you’d think. It’s influenced by the metal and rock scene. With guitar by Steve Steves that blends seamlessly with the vocals and everything else, every element creates a specific vibe that captures the dark and dauntless essence that they want to present accurately.
“Light my cigarette / Watch me blow away / Wrap me up in black / ‘Cause I can be this way” pretty much sums up the confidence in this song, stressing the struggles people of color and queer people face. Ray Noir makes sure to represent not only himself, but everyone in the community.
Overall, “Razorblade Romance” is a fun, catchy track that doesn’t get old. It’s not overbearing, either, making it a good song recommendation for anyone. Despite the darkness of the visuals and tones, what it means and stands for are just bursting with color.
