In the ever-evolving realm of R&B, Destin Conrad emerges with a poignant new single, “Same Mistake,” featuring the enchanting vocals of Alex Isley. The track, a collaborative effort penned alongside Astyn, offers a reflective glance at the complexities of fading relationships.
Produced by Louie Lastic, “Same Mistake” unfolds as a somber ballad, delving into the emotional whirlwind of a romance nearing its end. Conrad’s opening verse paints a picture of a lover’s inconsistency, with lyrics that echo the confusion and frustration of unreciprocated affection. “Why you always wanna play games? / Night time you’re mine, and daylight you act like you don’t even know my name,” he croons with a blend of melancholy and yearning.
Alex Isley’s lyrical prowess shines in the second verse, offering a counter-narrative of someone hesitant to commit. Her sultry voice elegantly conveys the inner turmoil of giving in to desires that contradict one’s true intentions. “The nighttime brings promises I can’t keep / Giving in is the one thing I don’t need,” she sings, adding depth to the song’s exploration of love’s intricate dynamics.
“Same Mistake” marks Conrad’s first musical endeavor since his SUBMISSIVE project, released under Above Ground Entertainment in October 2023. Whether this single is a standalone piece or a precursor to a future project remains to be seen.
Adding to the excitement, Conrad is set to embark on his headlining SUBMISSIVE Tour, starting February 4 in Austin, Texas. The tour will weave through various cities, including Dallas, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C., culminating in Los Angeles on April 5. Accompanying him is the talented Amaria, known for her recent single “Day By Day.”
Alex Isley, too, has been active since her last album, Marigold, released nearly two years ago. Her recent collaborations have included a joint project with Terrace Martin, I Left My Heart In Ladera, which soared to No. 2 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz Albums chart. Her diverse collaborations extend from covering The Isley Brothers’ “Brown Eyed Girl” with her father, Ernie Isley, to teaming up with SiR on the track “Back To Love.”
“Same Mistake” is not just a song; it’s an introspective journey into the heart of modern relationships, wrapped in the soulful rhythms
of R&B. It represents the musical prowess of both Conrad and Isley, as they continue to captivate audiences with their profound storytelling and emotive melodies.
