Kinda Fucked - Serendipiti

Single Review

By Susie Long

The third single from Australian singer Serendipiti, ‘Kinda Fucked’ is an emotional look at the messy fallout from breakups. Described as “fizzy” and “modest”, I think Serendipiti has great potential, but I can’t help feeling that this song has something missing.

With simple guitar backing and pretty but stripped-back vocals, this track doesn’t feel that new. Whilst, of course, every genre has its conventions and tropes, it would be nice to hear something slightly more in-depth and unique.

With lyrics that speak of anger, confusion, and being let down, the presentation feels a little underwhelming. Truthfully, the intense emotions that Serendipiti is alluding to in this song feel distant from the delivery and, whether this was intentional or otherwise, I think the end product comes across as quite detached. These themes should be evocative and therapeutic to listeners, but personally I’m not sure ‘Kinda Fucked’ achieves this.

Overall, I think this song and Serendipiti as an artist could be something great, but this doesn’t feel like it’s quite there yet. I want to hear something more.
