The Chicago MC gets into his country-tinged bag on this track.

What sounds like it should be a banger of a track actually resulted in a welcome change of pace. Moreover, Diplo just released his new single "Heartbroken" featuring Polo G and Jessie Murph, complete with its own music video, as well. While that lineup suggests that the EDM-centered producer, the Chicago MC, and the TikTok star cooked up a dance bop, they actually crafted a country-leaning ballad. For those who were expecting the former, we still suggest you give this track a listen, as you might find treasure regardless. With tender acoustic guitars, atmospheric background vocals, and faint synth pads, this is a chilled-out but melancholy tune.

Furthermore, the production and vocal chorus melody is what pulls "Heartbroken" to that country side. The relatively slow-tempo composition lends itself well to tales of, to put it frankly, heartbreak. However, it takes a different context as the song goes on, because it's actually about how a partner helps another get through those emotions. Soft piano chords also accentuate the melodrama in the song in a compelling way, making it sound a bit more full and dynamic. Maybe we'll see these artist tap back into this sonic pallet another time, and with Polo G recently dropping a freestyle, perhaps he's gearing up to more releases soon.

Quotable Lyrics
My Cinderella, no questionin', this s**t forever,
Pain in written letters, sheddin' tears while we sit together,
Forget the pressure, know our love hard, I'm sick of lectures,
Stuck in rain storms, I could get used to this different weather
