"Soft Bitch" is the newest single from Lucy DK, which focuses on how intimidation in the workplace can easily get to you and make you feel small. In the business world, white men are favored and respected more over everyone else, and therefore are the ones put in charge. They see a young black woman trying to "invade" their space and they shut her down and make her feel unworthy and that she doesn't belong. This causes DK to fear this stressful environment, and she imagines a world where she can be in charge and not have to deal with these racist misogynists calling all the shots. However, she knows she's stronger and more important than they will ever be.
The instrumentation of "Soft Bitch" mostly includes the strumming of an acoustic guitar and powerful drums that have been engineered to be layered with pop production. The song is sonically upbeat and fun, and is reminiscent of early 2010s indie pop. DK is a very talented vocalist, and elements of spoken word are interwoven in the singing, making "Soft Bitch" a creative and distinctive song. The way that the harmonies are layered adds lots of depth to the song in addition to the layering of the instruments. The sound effects featured in the background are another great addition to the production, which work well with all the other parts of the overall sound.
Lucy DK is a music artist based in London. After perfecting her songwriting craft, she began her music career in 2015 with the release of her debut EP Cosmopolitan Girl. Since then, she has released several singles in addition to "Soft Bitch", including "Queen Bed", "Bye to My Last White Boy", and "Overnight". Her songs have been recognized on multiple music publications. DK runs radical hotties, a spiritual way to recollect yourself and manifest being the happiest and best version of you amidst the current state of the world. Lucy DK is an amazing and very talented and creative artist!
