Nicolette Capua is back with a quintessential pop hit entitled “Too Bad.” The lyrics of this track explore themes of empowerment, self-worth, and moving on after a bad breakup. Nicolette is quoted as saying the following about this brand-new release, “I’m BEYOND excited for everyone to hear ‘Too Bad’!! I’ve worked really hard on this song and I’m so happy everyone can finally hear it and sing their hearts out to it!! All I have to say is, ‘Too Bad, I’m gone, baby!” From a lyricism standpoint, "Too Bad" is quite the masterpiece. Nicolette manages to incorporate great imagery in lines such as "chills up your spine" along with rich sensory details like "edible lips." And trust me, anybody who has felt their independence or confidence waver on the tails of a harsh breakup will relate to Nicolette's bold reclamation of her old self. Now let's dig into how it sounds!
“Too Bad” jumps right into the action, and its energetic tone carries throughout the entire song. With its faster tempo and beat, this is a perfect summer track to dance to with your girls.There’s a lot to love about this song, but something it excels in is seamlessly blending old-school traditional pop elements with modern twists (like the integration of some playful auto-tune). The bridge stands out as a highlight of “Too Bad” as well as Nicolette Capua’s stellar vocals. Nicolette’s ethereal harmonies are also somewhat reminiscent of pop-princess Tate McRae’s style, and overall the track emits a dreamy tone.
