With Hurt Before, Rogier Dulac delivers a deeply evocative new release where emotion and musicianship take center stage. The track is driven by a lush, soulful saxophone that instantly pulls the listener in, while the sweet, delicate vocals add an intimate and warm layer to the sound.

Balancing melancholy with a sense of hope, Hurt Before explores emotional scars from the past and the courage it takes to open up again. The production is rich yet restrained, allowing every detail — from subtle breaths to expressive sax phrasing — to shine through.

Released on Big Boss Records, Hurt Before is a refined, timeless track where vulnerability and elegance meet.
