Though MUNZER got his start in rap, he takes a step back from the hard-edged raps of his debut single on "Cold Stone," allowing himself to be vulnerable for a second and croon over its addicting melody. Slow-jam trap track with a mellow 808 bassline, an airy bell arrangement, and sharp beat samples produced by BULLZEYE BEATS to show the world how heartbreak should sound.
"Cold Stone," inspired by MUNZER's struggles with heartbreak and sadness stemming from his own breakup experience, paints a poignant image of how he felt emotionally shattered, like a "cold stone," to the point of feeling nothing at all. With the track being so introspective, it touches on the bigger picture: that anyone who puts their heart into love only ends up empty-handed. It is a homage to the brokenhearted and an anthem for the wounded soul.
What you can expect to hear MUNZER do is throw a curveball, designed for longtime fans who channel R&B styles in his vocals, which sound smoother and far more emotionally present, especially with the use of auto-tune that Johnny BULLZ uses like a laser. While a bit trepidatious at first of this conceptual direction, MUNZER discovered that it was the perfect means to share his tale and let the raw pain in his lyrics light up every note. This is the sound of an artist who is not afraid to change, and it is worth noting.
This culminates in a seamless, hard-hitting trap style, accompanied by a beautifully open R&B melody to introduce MUNZER and his world at every bar. "Cold Stone" is not only another breakup song, but also a statement about his journey. MUNZER merges his storytelling skills as a rapper with melody-driven ability and shows whether it is pain that fuels them or pride. And on "Cold Stone," he not only lays out his pain in the open, but also turns it into a languid and beat-heavy ballad.
