AIYANA's latest single, "best case world," is a vulnerable and relatable masterpiece. Everyone has gone through hard times at some point in their life. Regardless of what has caused it, once things get bad, it can feel impossible to get up again. Moving forwards can be and and take some time. Even when all you want is to move on and feel better, its not that simple. The lyrics, "They say things will get better / What I wouldn't do to get there / But trying to move forward with the best wheel / Feels like Im running on a treadmill" shows how words of support can help sometimes, but that alone doesn't solve everything entirely. Progress is slow like "running on a treadmill," and it can feel like you are going nowhere at times. In moments like these, its easy to imagine a "best case world" where you finally feel okay without any worries or sadness weighing you down.
Matching the song's vulnerable message, "best case world" has a sound that immediately strikes you with emotion. The background music is laden with heavy emotions. Its a gentle sound that feels calming. The gentle and slow sound combined with AIYANA's vocals meshes together perfectly. When paired together the entire soundscape becomes extremely peaceful. The peacefulness feels comforting on its own, almost like a moment of clarity when overwhelmed by sadness or other heavy emotions. The song balances its sound with the lyrics and AIYANA's vocals in a way that welcomes anyone who listens to find comfort in it.
