Ica Frias expresses her wariness of romantic commitment in the new song “Oh Honey”

Filipino singer-songwriter Ica Frias reflects on her fears of being vulnerable and intimate with someone in the new single “Oh Honey,” released under Off The Record.

The young artist delivers a soulful number brimming with hopeless romanticism and jazzy instrumentation. On “Oh Honey,” Ica is careful not to let her heart fall into the wrong hands, which might just crush it eventually.

The rising star explains, “The song Oh Honey is about the fear of falling in love with the person you’re quite unsure of. Regardless of what you feel for him or her, it’s normal to be cautious about being romantically committed to someone. You deserve to receive all the love you give, but it needs to be with the right person at the right time.”
