An emotive piano ballad which tugs at the heartstrings, ‘Red Flag’ is a candid outlining of the grief that follows any failed relationship. It explores the pairing of pain with jealousy in following an ex-lover’s new romantic interests, embodying the sense of hopelessness that comes with watching someone move on.
The song combines attentive lyrical details with an emotionally grounded vocal performance. The chorus aptly conveys the powerlessness of being left behind, juxtaposing the bold rawness of the message with the heartbreakingly beautiful, birdsong-like agility of Rachel’s higher rage. Red Flag demonstrates Rachel’s strengths as both singer and songwriter; a flawless performance which speaks directly to our universal vulnerabilities.
