Caroline Romano draws listeners to her new single, "Not Used To You." Written with Todd Tran, Sam Varga, and Michael Van Wagoner, the song was the initial spark of her new project, which would come to form around its sound and emotional heartbeat. In "Not Used To You," she considers the weird feeling of not being used to love that doesn't hurt. It's being accustomed to having your heart broken or things failing for one reason or another that makes it somewhat uncomfortable when they go right, she says.
The track stimulates that tension, suspended breathing, holding out for letdown, a secret desire for the kiss that changes everything. The lyrics and melody of the song come through with a personal honesty, one tempered from lived experience. Romano's voice guides the listener through that finely dried balance of fear and desire, causing every note to be a confession.
