CherelleK. cuts through the noise with R&B track “Done With The Talkin’”

When CherelleK. says she’s “Done With The Talkin’,” you can take her word for it. This bold new single states that this is a breakup letter. With a confident swagger and sultry, slinky R&B groove, CherelleK. creates a track that’s equally empowering and addictive. Fishing for those smooth licks that grab the medulla but allow the mind to float, “Done With The Talkin’” drops into your ears over a bed of easy, cool rhythms and head-nodding grooves with a smoothness that greets the familiar but is altogether new. There’s a casual, self-assured calm in the production, a feeling that the music knows precisely where it’s headed and doesn’t need to yell to arrive.

The breezy instrumentation leaves plenty of room for the vocals to shine, and CherelleK. makes good use of that real estate. Each note is delivered with precision, braided with attitude and clarity. She performs the lyrics and embodies them. Her tone has a point-blank quality, as though she’s done with the excuses, the to and fro, the energy drains. It’s the sound of a person taking back their time, peace, and power, and it’s downright refreshing. But what sets “Done With The Talkin’” apart from your average groove is the message and the tone. It’s a vibe for those who have ever felt that enough is enough. Whether discussing relationships, fake friends, or simply delineating boundaries, CherelleK. embodies that moment we can all relate to the straw that broke the camel’s back, the shift in your internal dialogue, the point of no return when you stop pretending to be nice.

And yet, for all the assertiveness, the track never overwhelms. There’s freedom in its delivery, an undercurrent of release and self-confidence that has you walking away taller than when you started listening. It’s the soundtrack to halting relationships and maintaining elegance while doing so. With “Done With The Talkin’,” though, CherelleK. shows that you don’t need to yell to get your point across, you have to have the right beat for the occasion, words, and a healthy dose of unapologetic realness. This is R&B with backbone, and CherelleK. carries it well.
