Choszn releases bold new song 'Open Letter' about love, vulnerability, and fear.
On October 16th, R&B artist Choszn (Clifford Flemmings) dropped his highly anticipated single, ‘Open Letter’, a heartfelt reflection on love, fear, and the courage to be vulnerable. Known for his smooth vocals and raw storytelling, Choszn resonates with his audience through his honest expression of life’s complexities. His latest single follows a year of remarkable growth, both in his career and fanbase and offers a fresh perspective on modern relationships.
‘Open Letter’ prompts tension between wanting love and fearing the potential for heartbreak. Choszn opens up about his insecurities and invites his listeners to do the same. The lyrics attest to a desire for deep connection while acknowledging that “baggage” is something both partners bring to a relationship. ‘Open Letter’ emphasises the importance of communication, vulnerability, and emotional honesty, which may come at the cost of a relationship, but is necessary for personal growth.
Lyrically, the chorus lay it bare: “Here’s my open letter to you, not askin’ you to choose, but I’m done singing the blues, so why should you have to?” Choszn showcases the emotional baggage he carries, addressing it in an introspective and inviting way. In his second verse, he confesses, “Needy, I am, Girl, I must confess, Jealous, easily, glad that’s off my chest.” By acknowledging his faults, he gives his partner the chance to decide if they are willing to accept these vulnerabilities.
The drop of ‘Open Letter’ has already sparked some buzz across social media and DSPs. Co-signed by celebrities like Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade, and Meghan Trainor, who shared teasers and support for the track. Fans on TikTok have been eagerly awaiting the release, with nearly 700 users already creating content using a preview of the song.
Choszn’s journey has been one of perseverance and passion. His viral success with the Hood Christmas Carols series in 2022 and his recent performances at SXSW 2024 have set the stage for this moment. With “Open Letter,” Choszn invites his audience to embrace vulnerability and understand that love requires honesty, even when it’s difficult. As he continues to evolve as an artist, this track marks a bold step in his already promising career.
