Wes Nelson’s most honest and raw material to date is a catchy two-track single titled ‘3 Words (Message To My Ex) / Message From My Ex.’ The tunes operate as a comforting warm blanket for anybody who has ever been there, taking us on an emotionally charged journey through loss.
‘3 Words (Message To My Ex)’ shows Wes fuelled by wrath and anguish, reminiscing over lost precious times and pondering on lost love, with silky smooth vocals, a catchy melody, and a mesmerising chorus. ‘Message From My Ex,’ on the other hand, dives in with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, delivering melodious lines over twitchy beats, Wes no longer feeling spiteful and devastated but optimistic, free, and on the other side. The single is accompanied by a music video which can be seen below…
Wes says, “Each lyric in the two tracks is so personal to me, which made writing them effortless – but I feel anyone who’s been through heartbreak can relate. ‘3 Words’ reflects the post-breakup healing process and explores the idea that losing someone isn’t always ‘a loss’.
“I wrote Message From My Ex in a completely different frame of mind, where I’d fully healed, realised my worth, and found it comical that my exes come running back. It’s one of my close friends’ favourite and was built around the conversations we’d had.”
