This one’s going to be infinitely relatable to those of you who have ever been called outspoken. Maybe they say you’re passionate, candid, or even a rule-breaker with how willing you are to say it like it is. Hayley Orrantia’s latest single “Rebellion” is a snapshot of what it means to be a rebel, and wanting to press against the boundaries to break them completely. You stand up, fight for what’s right– and if that makes you rebellious, then so be it. Wrapped in a smooth soundscape, Hayley’s amazing vocals, and catchy hooks, this track will make you never want to back down. One listen to “Rebellion” and you’ll be singing it aloud all day, no matter who tells you to turn down the volume.
I think my favourite part of “Rebellion” is how buttery-smooth its soundscape is. There’s a flow to it that helps you slip right into the track, effortlessly pulling you along its chorus and verses. The vocals, the instrumentals– it all comes together to form the backbone of a song that has some super sleek lyricism, making it both catchy and having a message everyone can relate to. “Rebellion” highlights the want to defy the restrictive rules society has laid out for us. Whatever form that takes on for you, it’s something many of us can understand. I especially adore the line, “I was born with fire in my blood / Can’t resist getting into good trouble.” It underpins how we’re always fighting the good fight, standing up for ourselves and resisting the people who try to put us down. It’s a great track to blast when you need that extra boost of confidence because “Rebellion” is right in your corner, cheering you on.
Although she’s best known for her role as “Erica Goldberg” in the ABC hit comedy The Goldbergs, Hayley Orrantia is also a big part of the music world. She first got her start in 2015 with her debut single “Love Sick,” and her debut EP The Way Out has charted in both the US and UK. You may also recognize Hayley’s name as the runner-up for Season 7 of the Masked Singer, where she was disguised as the Ringmaster. With a passionate, soulful style, her music brings audiences together. If you loved “Rebellion,” be sure to check out the rest of her tracks, too!
