WHEN LOVE HURTS ON REPEAT: SINACHI BREAKS IT DOWN IN “HRTBEAT”
Sinachi knows how to sit inside a feeling and stay there. With “Hrtbeat,” the Nigerian singer-
songwriter returns with a haunting tale of love that keeps ending the same way. Built on slow-
burning melodies and whisper-soft vocals, “Hrtbeat” is a song for the overthinkers, the over-
lovers, and the over-hurting.
Lines like “Said you gon’ keep on just breaking my heart… I could’ve seen that straight from the
start” set the tone, honesty, no pretence. The heartbeat, repeated in chorus, isn’t just a sound;
it’s a symbol. A rhythm of pain that lingers long after someone walks away. There’s also
mention of numbing and loneliness, with lyrics that hint at late-night pills and early morning
regrets.
Yet, in all its sadness, “Hrtbeat” offers comfort. It validates the quiet heartbreaks, the ones that
don’t get posted or told.
“I wanted to make a song for when you’re alone in your room, and the silence is louder
than anything. That’s what ‘Hrtbeat’ is,” says Sinachi.
