Komfessional music is an unpolished musical microgenre that sounds like an Instagram story that spread on the online audio distribution platform SoundCloud.

The artist is not in time to the tune, beat and s/he not rhyming, it's almost as if s/he’s really just thinking his or her lyrics out loud.

It' has become very trendy among young Haitian millenial singiers from the Kompa and Beat genre.
What I really about Komfessional music is, they are unpolished, short, quick, and popular.with young Haitians.
