HollyBear does not sound heartbroken on "OBVIOUS". She sounds like she already checked the receipts, closed the app, fixed her hair, and decided the lesson was expensive but useful. That is the fun of the single. It has the warmth of R&B, the cool posture of jazz influence, and the tiny side-eye of someone who knows exactly what happened. "OBVIOUS" moves with a smile that has teeth. The Tarzana independent artist calls her style JazznB, and that name fits the way she bends soft grooves around sharp feelings. HollyBear writes, records, produces, and guides the creative direction herself, which gives "OBVIOUS" a personal charge. Her influences, SZA, Kehlani, Sasha Keable, and Amy Winehouse, show up as attitude rather than imitation. You can hear the conversational ease, the soulful edge, and the playful sting of someone saying the quiet part out loud. The track is built in Logic Pro with MIDI based production, keyboard, programmed drums, strings, synth, bass, and a lot of vocal stacking. Fourteen vocal tracks sit inside the arrangement, and that detail matters because the song feels packed with tiny versions of HollyBear backing herself up. The beat does not chase drama. It keeps a laid back sway, letting the bass and keys hold the room while her voice carries the smirk. The final mix and master give it a clean streaming punch without sanding away the mood. "OBVIOUS" comes from past relationships where HollyBear knew something was wrong but kept herself together. The song plays like the answer she could have given in the moment, sweet, sassy, self aware, and very direct. It is not a weeping breakup record. It is not a victory lap with confetti either. It sits in that messy but satisfying space where you stop asking for proof because the pattern has already done all the talking. That is why the single feels very online in the best way. It has the same energy as a group chat screenshot followed by three dots, then the perfect reply. Not messy for the sake of attention, not cruel for sport, but precise enough to make everyone in the chat go silent for half a second. In a culture that turns healing into captions and revenge into content, HollyBear keeps it musical. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l55oTOGbJe54AbqO5LzKG0OpJcgb88xVg&si=51tVj5PJjUVz7gF6 She gives the feeling a groove, lets it breathe, and avoids turning the whole thing into a lecture. The song's short 2 minute and 11 second run time helps its bite. It comes in, makes the point, and gets out before the emotion loses its shine. The harmonies add gloss without making things too pretty. The strings and synth touches give the track a late-night polish, while the programmed drums keep it moving with casual confidence. You can play it while getting ready, while walking past a place that used to feel complicated, or while pretending you did not reread a message twice. We have all been there. Even houseplants know when the room gets weird. What makes HollyBear exciting here is her control. Many independent R&B songs lean hard on confession, but "OBVIOUS" uses confession as seasoning rather than the full meal. She tells the truth, then styles it. That matters for an artist still building her lane because the record gives listeners a clear identity to hold onto: warm production, direct writing, self-made craft, and a voice that can be soft without sounding unsure. The JazznB label is catchy, but the bigger point is the way she makes self respect feel easy to replay. For ViViPlay listeners chasing new R&B with personality, "OBVIOUS" is a quick hit with replay value and attitude. HollyBear sounds locked into her own taste, and that may be the best sign of where she is headed. Keep her name close, because this level of calm confidence usually has more stories waiting behind it. https://open.spotify.com/track/4HFOfUOYE4TfxN5p5mefUI?si=c351961732a1482c

HollyBear Makes Composure Feel Like Payback In 'OBVIOUS' The Tarzana independent artist HollyBear turns relationship clarity into a poised JazznB single 'OBVIOUS' shaped by home production, stacked vocals, and sly emotional control. Some songs arrive with tear stains still drying on the sleeve. Others enter the room already dressed, lipstick neat, pulse steady, asking only for the facts to be placed on the table. HollyBear's "OBVIOUS" belongs to the second camp. It carries the aftertaste of disappointment, yet it refuses to collapse under it. The single studies that strange hour after hurt has cooled into knowledge, when anger no longer needs to shout because the evidence has started speaking for itself. In that space, pride does not feel loud. It feels clean. HollyBear comes from Tarzana, United States, and the geography matters less as a postcard than as a clue to her self-made method. She is a fiercely independent contemporary R&B artist, writing, recording, producing, and directing her own material from a home setup. That private environment gives "OBVIOUS" its close range. Nothing here feels passed through too many hands. The fingerprints remain visible. Her stated influences, SZA, Kehlani, Sasha Keable, and Amy Winehouse, can be heard less as borrowed decoration than as a family of attitudes: conversational bite, soulful abrasion, playful sarcasm, and emotional honesty that does not ask for pity. HollyBear's sound is described as JazznB, a jazz and R&B fusion, and the term suits the single because "OBVIOUS" leans on feel rather than spectacle. It is not shaped as a sobbing farewell, nor does it pose as a spotless victory chant. It occupies the middle chair at the table, where self respect, memory, and a tiny grin all sit together. The story behind it is direct: past relationships where something felt wrong, patience won in public, and a sharper reply lived only in the imagination. The record gives that imagined reply a body, sweet on the surface, pointed beneath. Built in Logic Pro, the track uses MIDI based production with keyboard, programmed drums, strings, synth, and bass. The groove stays smooth and laid back, yet it has enough weight to keep the lyric from floating away. Around HollyBear's lead delivery, fourteen vocal tracks form stacked harmonies, giving the hook and background phrases a soft crowd of witnesses. It is a private argument performed with salon lighting. Her voice is the center of the record's moral temperature. HollyBear does not sing as if she is trying to win a courtroom case. She sings as if the verdict arrived last week and she is now choosing what to wear to the announcement. That is where the Amy Winehouse influence feels useful, not as imitation, but as permission to let wit sharpen sadness. The SZA and Kehlani thread appears in the way lines can feel spoken as much as sung, casual but barbed. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_l55oTOGbJe54AbqO5LzKG0OpJcgb88xVg&si=51tVj5PJjUVz7gF6 There is an old dramatic idea called an aside, the moment when a character turns slightly away from the other actors and tells the audience what is really going on. Shakespeare used it for mischief, conspiracy, and comic timing. "OBVIOUS" works in a similar way. The person at the center of the story may have stayed composed during the actual relationship, but the song lets the inner commentary step forward at last. It asks a subtle question: what happens when someone who was underestimated finally gains the language to name the insult without becoming smaller because of it? That question gives the single its most interesting power. Contemporary R&B often excels at mapping desire and heartbreak, but HollyBear is less concerned with the crash than with the poise after impact. The record's emotional force comes from restraint. Even the sass feels measured, like a glass set down softly on a hard table. There is something almost painterly in the way the vocals are layered, a bit like watching color darken in thin coats rather than seeing one heavy stroke announce the whole image. [caption id="attachment_65104" align="alignnone" width="683"] HollyBear Makes Composure Feel Like Payback In 'OBVIOUS'[/caption] For a 2 minute and 11 second single, "OBVIOUS" makes a strong case for HollyBear's creative identity. It presents her as an artist who can turn a personal bruise into craft without draining it of feeling. The home recorded origin, the self-directed process, and the warm JazznB frame all point toward an artist learning how to make intimacy sound intentional rather than unfinished. In an independent R&B climate crowded with confession, HollyBear's edge is her composure. She does not beg the listener to take her side. She simply lets the situation become plain. By the final impression, "OBVIOUS" feels like a note passed across the table after the argument has ended, folded neatly, signed with a smile, and too accurate to ignore. If clarity can become its own form of payback, how much does one really need to say once the truth has made itself so clear? https://open.spotify.com/track/4HFOfUOYE4TfxN5p5mefUI?si=7e43d8cd8b9b44cd

it's not uncommon that bearfrost comes home after a long day of lawyering to his boyfriend, tanktop-clad and slightly sweaty, either in his studio working on his next project or in the kitchen preparing dinner with whatever he found that day. hollybreeze often got lost in his work and wouldn't hear the door open and shut. bearfrost usually leaves him to finish whatever task he was on(respecting the adhocd😌), but on occasion he'll use the element of surprise to sneak up and attack with kisses licks and cuddles! he loves hearing hollybreeze laugh. it's a rare sound but every time it's like music to bearfrost's ears.
