A contradicting and fascinating blend of self-confidence and dependence shines through the deep meaning of "Vendetta" by Izzy Escobar. Boldly exploring feelings of possessiveness when it comes to a former partner and betrayer, the speaker of the song breaks down all the details of a their ex's new partner: essentially a copy of the speaker herself. The message of the song makes it clear: the speaker oozes confidence in the fact that she is irreplaceable. Evocative lyrics like "she lived in your bed and you lived in my mind" portray the mind games that cast a shadow over the speaker's former relationship. With an energetic and thrilling perspective on post-betrayal healing, this song invites listeners to recognize that the impact they made on a person will remain strong no matter how they may treat you.
Jazzy, edgy, and authentically daring, this alternative pop tune draws listeners into feelings of raw intimacy and vulnerability in the powerful way each note hits the ear. The sound of Izzy's voice evokes the intoxicatingly dark and throaty aura of Amy Winehouse blended with the soulful and resonant power of Adele. Slow piano chords and gentle percussion open the verse before the beat picks up and builds with bass and pace. Vocalizing layers of high and low vocals support the deep voicing of the chorus. Catchy and powerful, this immersive track uses its instrumentals to infuse the lyrics a punchy and dramatic energy.
