Karim Panzetta explores the difficult honesty of knowing when a relationship has run its course on his new single, “Not Made For Loving You.” The singer, songwriter, and producer works across contemporary pop and R&B, pairing sleek, atmospheric production with a vocal style that keeps the emotion of his songwriting front and center.
Panzetta’s music is rooted in real-life experiences, often examining relationships and the complicated gap between what we feel, what we say, and what we are willing to admit to ourselves.
“Not Made For Loving You” tackles a situation where doing the seemingly kinder thing can ultimately cause more damage. At its heart is the realization that staying in a relationship out of obligation, or continuing to say what the other person wants to hear, can become its own form of dishonesty. Panzetta approaches the breakup from the perspective of someone prepared to accept being seen as the villain if it means finally acknowledging the truth.
His recent releases have seen him develop a more defined pop and R&B sound, and “Not Made For Loving You” demonstrates that. Sonically, the track features velvety vocals, ethereal synths, and seductive melodies, resulting in a vibey track that you’ll want on repeat. Working from his own studio, he writes, records, mixes, and masters his material, as well as taking an active role in production alongside Grammy-nominated producer Riley Urick.
“Not Made for Loving You” offers a glimpse into an artist who is confident in both his sound and the stories he wants to tell.
