Review: "Big Enough" - Estella Dawn


Estella Dawn never fails to provide her listeners with captivating pop productions and relatable lyrics. “Big Enough” eloquently shares the feeling of freedom after escaping a toxic relationship. Anyone who has listened to the artist for a while knows her previous tracks explore her experience while in this unhealthy relationship. Now, the singer bares her teeth and fights back. She is no longer allowing herself to be treated poorly and is rejoicing in her new-found freedom. In the chorus, she sings the powerful hook: “Want me to crawl back// No way, no way// I hope you choke on me// Am I big enough now?” With these lyrics, Dawn shows her former partner just how strong she is. She is not the weak pushover they once thought she was, but instead a force to be reckoned with. The artist has a creative way with words that simultaneously showcases her class and her sass. Dawn is an undeniable triple-threat, leaving me in awe once again of her outstanding talent.
