Life has a way of throwing everything at you at once—heartbreak, loss, and major transitions. Over the past year, I went through a tough breakup, lost two family members, and made a life-changing move to Boston. It felt like I was at my own crossroads, unsure of where to go next.

That’s when Cordae’s Crossroads album hit different. The emotions, the storytelling, the vulnerability—it all felt like he was speaking directly to me. Certain songs stood out, resonating with my struggles and helping me find clarity in my pain.

Songs That Hit the Hardest:

🎵 “Don’t Walk Away from Me” – This track felt personal. It reminded me of the heartbreak I was going through, the feeling of wanting someone to stay but knowing they might not. The raw emotion in Cordae’s voice made me reflect on my own past and accept that sometimes, people leave for a reason.

🎵 “All Alone” – Moving to Boston was a lonely transition. This song put that solitude into perspective. Instead of feeling sorry for myself, I started seeing my alone time as an opportunity to grow, heal, and find strength in independence.

🎵 “06 Dreamin” – This one gave me motivation. Cordae talks about ambition, chasing dreams, and overcoming obstacles. After everything I had been through, this track reminded me that my story wasn’t over—I still had goals to chase, a future to build, and a new city to conquer.

The Bigger Picture

Cordae’s Crossroads wasn’t just an album; it became my therapy. It helped me process grief, accept change, and find the drive to keep moving forward. It reminded me that pain isn’t the end—it’s just part of the journey.

If you’re at your own crossroads, unsure of what’s next, I recommend giving this album a listen. Sometimes, music can be the guide you need to find your way again.
