El rhythm and blues (abreviado por sus siglas R&B) o jumping music es un género musical derivado en su origen del jazz, el gospel y el blues. El término musical fue introducido en Estados Unidos en 1949 por Jerry Wexler de la revista Billboard. Sustituyó al término conocido como "race records" (grabaciones de raza), considerado ofensivo para la posguerra mundial así como para la categoría de Billboard "Harlem Hit Parade" en junio de 1949, y principalmente era usado para identificar el género musical que más tarde se desarrollaría en forma de rock and roll.
A medio camino entre el R&B indie y el soft-rock, las composiciones de la jovencísima cantante londinense Arlo Parks hablan sobre la cotidianidad de una nueva generación rota y triste. Sus temas, inspirados en sus amigos y sus propios problemas y esperanzas, son piezas delicadas y melancólicas de gran carga emocional. Parks llega a Barcelona para presentar su primer EP, Super Sad Generation, con el que se ha ganado el reconocimiento unánime de la crítica en el Reino Unido. Sus ni-tan-sólo 20 años dan todavía más valor a esta artista, que ha sido comparada con artistas como Portishead o Syd Barrett.
Anaïs Oluwatoyin Estelle Marinho (Londres, Reino Unido; 9 de agosto de 2000), conocida profesionalmente como Arlo Parks, es una cantautora y poeta británica. En 2021, publicó su primer álbum de estudio, Collapsed in Sunbeams. El disco fue bien recibido por la crítica y ganó el Premio Mercury concedido al álbum británico más destacado del año.
Millie tried to talk the pleasure back into being alive
Reminiscing 'bout the apricots and blunts on Peckham Rye
Won't call her friends 'cause she's ashamed of being locked into bed
Can't feel her legs and feeling like a liar at best
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
You're not alone, you're not alone
Started sweating bullets when her dad asked, "How d'you really feel?"
She said, "I've been feeling like something inside me wants to scream"
Won't call my friends, I'm persuaded that they'll leave in the end
Can't feel my legs, I'm feeling like a liar at best
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
I've often felt like I was born under a bad sign
Wearing suffering like a silk garment or a spot of blue ink
Looking for light and finding a hole where there shouldn't be one
I cannot communicate the depth of the feeling
Truth is I'm still learning to be open about this
But know that I know and you're not alone
Yeah, know that I know and you're not alone
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
You're not alone like you think you are
You're not alone like you think you are
We all have scars, I know it's hard
You're not alone, you're not alone
