In his newest single “What Would I Say?”, Rich Allen delivers an uncomplicated yet deeply moving song that explores the challenging emotions we feel but seldom discuss when we encounter someone we used to love. From Tampa, Florida, Rich creates emotional depth through sincere lyrics and a soft vocal delivery to illustrate the overwhelming moment when memories rush in and speech becomes impossible. The track achieves its effect without the need for elaborate vocabulary or intricate production elements. It leans into a raw feeling. His singing delivers a palpable sense of hesitation and the burden of unspoken words through the line “Oh what would I say, what would I do”.
The song resonates powerfully because of its authentic emotional depth. There’s no pretending here. Rich creates lyrics shaped by genuine personal experience. These simple lines “Would I stare at the ground / Would I stare at my shoes” carry a strong impact because of their truthful expression. The music remains gentle throughout its duration allowing words space for expression. His delivery of the song reveals a gentle yet profound pain which suggests he has reconciled with his past while still sensing its lasting impact. The understated production serves its purpose perfectly because it neither distracts from nor overshadows the song’s message.
This track transcends the typical boundaries of a breakup song. The song serves as a reminder that the absence of love leaves unanswered questions behind. The song speaks to everyone who has practiced dialogues that never took place. Rich Allen has produced work that touches his own life while connecting deeply with listeners. The uniqueness of this single comes from its ability to stand out. This single makes no effort to impress; it simply speaks the truth which can be the most impactful message.
