Kendra Knight - Where the brokenhearted go

Kendra Knight's debut single Where the Brokenhearted Go pays homage to the golden age of Motown while carving out its own contemporary resonance.

Knight's metaphorical procession of the heartbroken—»walking in line, just moving slow, like the cows«—creates a powerful image of resigned solidarity. Meanwhile, the bridge's confession that »there's a peace in the silence, but it's all pretend« adds a layer of contemporary psychological awareness to the traditional blues narrative.
