Clarissa Diokno’s new song, “Trust Myself,” dropped on November 3, 2023, and it’s full of honest, open expressions of emotion. Featuring classic sound akin to vintage pop and R&B, “Trust Myself” opens with an emotive vocal, proving both delicate and strong as the trip proceeds.
The song builds from quiet, reflective verses to a rousing chorus of musical and vocal optimism, before returning to the gentleness of a reassuring final resolution. Diokno, who lives and works in Kitchener, Ontario, wants to encourage others to embrace art as a means of self-expression and to show the world what they’re passionate about.
The protagonist of “Trust Myself” moves from introspection and apathy to self-assurance and optimism as the song progresses. The lyrics have a strong sense of intimacy, but there is also a welcoming openness to the subject that allows listeners to appropriate it for their own times of doubt. The tune is encouraging, urging listeners to follow their passions despite internal battles with self-doubt.
When you need a burst of motivation or a deeper understanding to take the next step, crank up “Trust Myself” and let the music envelop you.
