At the end of the tracklist is a bonus Spanish version of the title track, a nod to Claudio’s Puerto Rican and Cuban heritage.Īlthough the album is low on stand-alone singles with high potential to grab the attention of new listeners (think “Belong to You” from 2017’s “About Time”) it will appeal to fans of Claudio by delivering some of her highest-quality songs in a single package. The two musicians’ voices complement each other extremely well and I expect the track will be one of the most popular off the album. “On My Shoulders” is a bitter, haunting cry of anguish as Claudio reflects on the unhealthy power dynamics of a relationship, with disturbing visual imagery in lyrics like, “I f only I could slice my skin, try to align my fingerprints, I’d know exactly what it is you feel.”Ĭlaudio does not typically have many guest appearances on her albums, but “Truth Is” contains one exception in “Rumors,” featuring fellow artist ZAYN.
Stand out songs on the album include “Me In Her” and previously released singles “Holding the Gun” and “On My Shoulders.” “Me in Her,” in particular, has a much more confrontational tone than most of Sabrina’s music, which makes it one of the most memorable tracks. It is apparent from this album that Claudio has solidified her smooth style, but it also hints at an upcoming shift in her approach to music. Romance has been the primary topic of the artist’s last two albums, but her latest project examines the darker connotations of love and the harmful effects it can have on the human psyche. Sabrina Claudio’s new album “Truth Is” paints a picture of true love, but its ambiguity makes it more Mona Lisa’s smile than lovers embracing.
