Some artists make music to entertain; Abel Skarz makes music to survive. On his powerful new single, I Tried, Skarz offers a raw, poetic glimpse into the struggles that have shaped him, translating deeply personal emotions into a song that feels both intimate and universally relatable.
For Abel Skarz, songwriting began as a necessity rather than a pastime. “I was never really good at expressing my emotions,” he admits, “until I started writing them down and eventually turning them into songs.” In I Tried, this transformation is palpable—every lyric carries the weight of real experiences, underscored by a sound that blends aching melodies with a stripped-back, soulful production. It’s clear that for Skarz, music isn’t just a creative outlet; it’s a form of therapy.
What sets I Tried apart is its fearless embrace of vulnerability. Abel doesn’t shy away from the messy, complicated emotions that often go unspoken. Instead, he leans into them, reminding listeners that “emotions make us human,” and that by owning them, we find strength rather than weakness. This authenticity gives I Tried a resonance that lingers long after the final note.
If you’re looking for a song that doesn’t just sound good but feels necessary, I Tried by Abel Skarz deserves a place on your playlist. Listen now and experience an artist who turns pain into poetry with breathtaking honesty.
