Some heartbreaks sound like silence while others ride back in with a grin. HRVY Dent’s “High Horse” opens with gentle folk-country guitar chords, setting the stage for a story of love lost and lessons learned. But don’t mistake the melody for misery; this is heartbreak with a pulse.

“I told her that I love her, she said that it’s okay.” That’s the turning point. As soon as the line lands, producer Nick Nash drops the bass in, lifting the energy like a cowboy refusing to sulk. It’s the sonic embodiment of getting back on your high horse, that moment when heartbreak meets hope and you realize healing might just sound like 808s and open roads.

Detroit has a long history of birthing artists whose voices carry both grit and soul, from Slum Village to Dej Loaf, Dwele to Danny Brown. Junii is the next to emerge from that lineage, carving her own space with music that thrives in vulnerability and raw honesty. She reminds me of artists like Smino, Doechii, Samara Cyn, and even flashes of Doja Cat, but there’s a texture in her sound that makes her stand entirely on her own.
