Hidden love and secrecy. The manipulative love bombing, the constant need for reassurance, the lack of sentiment, and the interminable doubt that comes with these kinds of relationships. It’s something a plethora of us have unfortunately had to experience, how diminutive and impotent we can feel when we let these people control and manipulate us. They come into our lives so different, almost loving and tenderly, all for it to change over time. Change into something so destructive and foul, molding us into a version they see is best, suppressing our connection and hiding it from the world to persist in their harmful and cheating behavior. These emotions and detrimental scenarios are what inspired Mandi Macias in her latest single titled “F* Ur F150”. Although these toxic people can make us feel insignificant and small, Mandi highlights the fortifying liberty one feels when we finally reclaim ourselves in these situations, as Mandi expresses in the song “now I’m in the driver seat”, demonstrating the freedom that comes with putting an end with toxic partners with destructive tendencies.
Mandi’s voice is invigorating, adding immense emphasis to the emotive lyrics. The sound itself gives off an alternative pop that is sure to resonate and revitalize any listeners who may have experienced similar situations– giving them the confidence and capability to reclaim their power and self-worth as a strong individual. To finally bid a long-awaited farewell to those whose sole intention was to mess with our vulnerable emotions and damage our hearts. Mandi’s talents are undeniable, her voice enunciating those emotions we feel into such a dynamic sound with story-telling lyrics that pull at the strings of our fervent hearts. As I listened to this song, I took note of the spin Mandi added to such a heartbreaking scenario– somehow making it lively and empowering, a feminist’s anthem to unhealthy relationships, giving it an upbeat and also sassy sound. Yet, she also adds such pensive lyrics that leave us to reflect on our past recollections– all of it combined forms such amazing and talented work.
