R E L is a talented singer and artist known for her deeply emotional, captivating, and often introspective music, which she describes as “evocapop.” Her single “Medicine” immerses the listener in the quiet pain of watching someone fade away, both in love and in life. It’s about that “distant look” in their eyes, the small signs you notice but don’t want to acknowledge. “I had to swallow the medicine of my life, and it makes me cry,” echoes like a gut punch. The song flows between heartbreak and holding on, even when you know it’s slipping away. It carries that raw, haunting feeling — a kind of beauty in the tears you can’t hold back when faced with loss and change, like a bittersweet dose of harsh reality.
