Ica Frias, a promising talent in the world of OPM, is poised to serenade audiences anew with her latest single, “Oh Honey” dropping in the midnight of October 6, 2023. She is set to captivate music enthusiasts with her latest single,
“Oh Honey,” as she fearlessly delves into the heart-pounding journey of falling for the wrong person and the fears that come along with it. “Oh Honey” gives us that bop that masquerades the anxieties of falling for somebody who might hurt you in the end.
When asked about the song, Ica explains that she “…wanted to make an anthem for people who get easily blinded when they’re falling in love.”
“I usually play random chord progressions with my guitar and just embrace the words that are naturally coming out of my mouth. Only then was I able to come up with writing a song with the concept of falling in love with the wrong person.
This is countered by the upbeat vibe of the song, almost as if you’re making fun of yourself for seeing that person with rose-colored glasses.”
We dug deeper and asked what inspired her to write this song and she explained how this is simply all about the “ick” of falling in love with someone who’s just playing with your feelings.”
Produced by Ricky Ilacad of Off The Record, this new single sounds different than Ica Frias’ usual heartbreak songs. “Oh Honey” masterfully combines an irresistibly boppy melody with poignant, introspective lyrics.
With an upbeat tempo and catchy hooks, it’s impossible not to tap your feet and nod your head to the rhythm. Yet, beneath the infectious sound, lies a lyrical journey through the depths of sadness and longing.
