“I Love You, I Hate You” is an exploration of industrial grit and soulful introspection from Caleb Loomis, also known as Supra Nova. Loomis’s vocals glide throughout the track, from tender whispers to raw agonized screams. Each line drips of vulnerability as the song delves into the paradox of love and hate in ways that peel back the layers of inner conflict that most often define one’s most intense relationships. The song is entirely produced in a DIY spirit and piles dark cyberpunk aesthetics atop the warm and organic. A fat, lolloping bassline provides the stirrings of that steady heartbeat that centres a song while bursts of droopy guitar splinters and a punchy synth modulate it with its dosage of texture and unpredictability. “I Love You, I Hate You” unsettles genre types through the raw rendition met with dreamy experimentalism, bordering on the edge of what mainstream allows to fly by.

The song’s lyrics are a fierce covenant unravelling inner conflict: the contest of attachment and detachment; love is as healing as it is potent and destructive. The lyrics dig deep, realizing that it’s as naked and poetic as intended, forcing listeners to unearth the enormity once applied to their own hearts. “I Love You, I Hate You” is riveting and cathartic. Supra Nova pushes boundaries in its production and vocal delivery and asks us all to embrace what it means to be honest, candid, and often contradictory with our feelings. It’s thought-provoking and sonically electrifying, a true pearl of modern, industrial-flecked dark pop that lingers.
