Soleil's latest release, "Rubbish," is an R&B/soul jam that turns the aftermath of a broken relationship into an assertion of reclamation, self-love, and self-worth. The song is about waking up to a love not built on promises, mixed signals, and neglect.
The lyrics alternate between introspection and cheeky self-expression, giving the narrative vulnerability and attitude. The writing moves from self-doubt to self-respect, from turning baggage into something to throw away. That lyrical arc takes the song from a simple break-up anthem to a statement about finding your voice again and not carrying another's weight.
The production is cinematic, supporting that message while keeping the song's R&B/soul identity through a retro soul soundscape. Soleil is as confident in her vocals as she is in the material, and she can be both exposed and confident. The accompanying music video, directed by Riccardo Solorzano, extends the aesthetic with golden imagery, performance shots, and television-screen visuals that lift the release's self-assured mood.
