Annapolis-based R&B and pop artist LTB plunges headfirst into the emotional wreckage of heartbreak on his newest single, the pained “My Fault.” LTB is known for his sonorous vocal tone and thought-provoking lyrical content, and here, he channels this with a raw, vulnerable performance, perfectly conveying the burdens of unresolved feelings. Fusing floaty melodies with a ghostly ambiance, it flits between blame and regret, cementing its status as a poignant meditation on love gone wrong.
Sounding at once intimate and broadly relatable, with a smoothness that merges modern R&B with depth that suggests jazz, “My Fault” is both a personal statement and a universal call. LTB’s vocal delivery conveys all the unanswered questions that linger after a breakup, wrapping you in the firestorm of uncertainty and refusal that follows the end of a relationship. That cyclical structure of the song mirrors the emotional loops of heartbreak, making it impossible to shake.
This drop solidifies LTB’s status as a masterful storyteller, channeling effect through melody and lyricism. Instead of arriving at easy closure, “My Fault” recognizes the difficulty of loss, marking it one of his most accomplished pieces in an ever-growing catalog. The song's production is lush but restrained in a way that gives the voice the spotlight, making sure the emotional weight doesn’t get drowned out in the production.
His alchemy of personal hurt in universally connecting music is part of his artistry. If this latest release is an indication, his star has only risen further still in the modern R&B and pop pantheon. This once again demonstrates why LTB is an artist to watch.
