PEGGY's latest single "WRITTEN BY A WOMAN," a song included in her second EP "COMING OF AGE," is a perfect balance of relatability and vulnerability. Everyone at some point has been interested in getting to know someone better. Whether that's in a romantic or platonic way, its very common and normal to be curious about others. Sometimes that curiosity can grow so much that you subconsciously fill in the blanks. PEGGY expresses this in "WRITTEN BY A WOMAN" and shows what its like to romanticize someone. This is shown with lyrics like, "We talked for hours / Before it clicked for me / I built my own version / Of your personality" and "Read you wrong / And now I'm at fault / And it's not your problem / You weren't written by a woman." PEGGY perfectly describes the experience of romanticizing someone with these lyrics. Sometimes, you fall in love with the idea of someone you made in your head, only to realize they aren't like that at all.
PEGGY balances vulnerability, relatability, and strength all in one song. These all mesh together and create a vibrant, unforgettable indie-pop song. The soft plucking of string instruments right at the beginning feels light and pensive, immediately reeling you into "WRITTEN BY A WOMAN." On top of that, PEGGY has a voice unlike any other in the music industry. Her vocals are beautiful, soft, and almost fairy-like, but naturally commands attention from all listeners. The background instruments of "WRITTEN BY A WOMAN" sounds like it could transport you to a fantasy land, especially when combined with PEGGY's vocables during the chorus. Her voice uplifts the lyrics and vulnerable message of the song, yet beautifully transforms it into a strength that isn't something to be ashamed of. The overall sound of the song feels comforting, hopeful, and positive, like you are looking forward to the future and accepting lessons from the past.
At 25 years old, PEGGY is an artist by day and a dreamer by night. She immerses herself in the pages of books and the imaginary world of her favorite fictional characters. Her music takes on a life of its own, fusing her small-town roots and big-city experiences, with a sprinkle of her love for literature. PEGGY's musical style is ethereal and intimate, transporting her listeners to a dreamy, otherworldly space. Her unique songwriting abilities have garnered an impressive following of over 1 million fans across Spotify, Tiktok, and Instagram. This indie-pop darling is talented, charismatic, and quirky, capturing the hearts of fans from around the world. Her lyrics are poetic, her melodies captivating, and her live performances unforgettable.
