Luc Patrick takes his most vulnerable creative plunge yet with “TRUST ISSUES,” an arresting new single that scrubs everything away, leaving only raw feelings and hard truths. The rising artist from Mississauga, Canada, comes through with a track that sounds less like a performance and more like an urgent need to release something shaped by splintered family bonds, personal demons and the long road to healing. It’s visceral, honest, and deliciously, purposefully uncomfortable in the best sense.
The track is directly inspired from the kind of abrasive candor you’ll find exemplified in Token, combining intricate delivery with serious moxie. Meanwhile, its dark soundscape taps into a cinematic energy grounded in The Batman that lends the track an ominous edge and creates a dark, Gotham City-worthy environment that represents the darker undertones at the core of the song. The production is weighty and engulfing, drawing us into a space that’s both tense and emotional, in which trust is frail and feelings are worn at the surface.
What makes this one unique is how it was made. The writing came before the beat coalesced, lending the track a sense of immediacy that is palpable from front to back. Emotion takes the lead, and nothing else matters. That immediacy serves an experience that is simultaneously confrontational yet vulnerable as Luc examines betrayal, family fractures and the long road to healing while refusing to protect himself from the muck.
“TRUST ISSUES” is a turning point in Luc Patrick’s creative odyssey. It catches an artist not unwilling to confront his demons in public and make a mess as much as possible as it proves something resonant and universal. For anyone who has had to face pain before clarity, this single will provide connection, catharsis, and proof that sometimes the most potent music comes while the wounds are still fresh.
