In the realm of heartfelt music that resonates deeply with the soul, South Wales-based The Honest Poet stands out as a beacon of authenticity and raw emotion with his latest release, ‘Made Me Stronger.’
Blending elements of hip-hop, spoken word, R&B, and soul, 'Made Me Stronger' is a soul-stirring breakup anthem exploring lost love's depths.

Collaborating with fellow Welsh artist and producer MINAS, this soulful R&B ballad has undergone a remarkable transformation from its original acoustic roots, showcasing the evolution of The Honest Poet's sound.
Reflecting on the single, The Honest Poet revealed, "Fun fact, 'Made Me Stronger' was originally written a few years ago and just resided as an attempt at writing a pop song that could potentially be on the radio. It started with an acoustic vibe until the idea of the EP came about. Minas did what he does best and unlocked its potential. The feel contrasts with the others on the project, so I thought it would be the perfect lighthearted song to end the EP. It’s one of my favorites on the project because we play it a lot in my band, 'The Honest Poet Society.’”
After captivating listeners with his 2023 single 'Toxic City,' ‘Made Me Stronger’ is a second preview of his forthcoming EP, 'Love Complexity'. This EP explores love's intricate and often darker aspects, a thematic departure from his debut EP 'Letters To My Queen.' While his initial project beautifully narrated the love story between himself and his fiancée, 'Love Complexity' delves deeper, delving into the complexities that define modern relationships.
As fans eagerly anticipate the EP's release on April 5th, 'Made Me Stronger' serves as a poignant precursor, inviting listeners to embark on a soul-stirring journey through heartache and resilience. Available now on all major streaming platforms, 'Made Me Stronger' is a testament to The Honest Poet's artistry and emotional depth.
