To be so in love you ignore all the signs that should scare you away can paralyze you long enough to the point where it almost feels too late. While red flags wave, you focus in on the pretty pictures and aesthetics, but eventually the ugly grows enough you can't pretend to ignore any longer. "14 Cigarettes" by Abigail Fierce explores a romantic tragedy that's painted in retro hues and the heat of a bad relationship that leaves you burnt. As you tune into this story you're instantly struck by the intensity of the damage done, but you also feel enchanted by instrumentals and production choices. In this moment you do find yourself stuck in this car ride along with the narrator and as the song's story spirals you do feel the danger the speaker feels in the end. Abigail Fierce delivers such an intense performance with this track that all these raw emotions bleed onto listeners to instantly charm them enough to become dedicated listeners.
From the moment you press play the imagery is clear enough you can almost touch it. There's a clear love for vintage aesthetics in this song and it really sells the idea that pretty moments can distract a person long enough to capture them. There's also almost a criminal element to this story, to be robbed of "14 Cigarettes" is to be robbed of one's love and time enough to cut deep. There's also the lying and hiding of this relationship from others and it makes the audience feel like they're watching a classic outlaw film. The softness of Abigail Fierce's singing does bring enough comfort to balance out the anxiety of this story. However, Fierce's softness still carries enough raw emotion that stays with you. The buildup at the end of the song perfectly reflects how the story ends, spiraling out of control enough to finally break away the main character from this spell. Overall, "14 Cigarettes" takes you on a journey of love and agony and it's so clear how talented of an artist Abigail Fierce is.
