Valentine’s Day is this week, and love is in the air. But what is the best kind of love? Self-love, of course. Nashville singer GRAVAs new single "Bounty" delves into this self-confident mindset. The single is a girl boss anthem that reminds you that you are the star in any room. It's meant to lift you up and give listeners that feeling of invincibility. Her soothing siren voice had my head swinging from left to right. The lyrics set out to tell listeners that we are the prize in every situation. This song is perfect to listen to while getting ready for a night out or when you're feeling low. The song's lyrics convey a sense of being underestimated. As she takes us through the story, she shows that this person has misunderstood her. She is not the kind of girl to go peacefully. “I’m not a girl to kiss and tell/But I’m not a girl to wish you well/Cause I draw a crowd, and it’s nothing unusual.” This verse is a turning point in the song, where it reaches its full potential as a women's empowerment anthem. It feels like something you'd hear at a Tate McRae show. It's nonstop adrenaline after this section, as we're hit with an onslaught of instruments that make you feel like you're in a music video.

Haley Bundy has returned to music with her new single, “End to Begin.” Within the process of starting over, Bundy knows the heartache that comes with it; however, instead of the heartache of endings taking over, Bundy instead celebrates renewal and growth, stating that “sometimes love's gotta end to begin.” This outlook, while acknowledging the pain that comes with a love that’s ending, also allows Bundy to fully embrace her growth and focus on herself. While there may be memories lingering, Bundy starts “a different chapter” instead of going back-and-forth. Bundy may be dealing with heartache, but she’s “closer to everything / [she wants] to be,” letting listeners into her healing process as she bounces back from an ending. “End to Begin” acknowledges the bittersweetness of growth: with any beginning comes an ending before it. It seems easy and logical to put together, but when living through it, the endings are hard, but starting over is even harder. With “End to Begin,” Bundy not only lets listeners into her new beginning, but also encourages them to look at starting over with the same mindset she has: starting over allows a chance to breathe and see a new light in life. While this mindset may be tinged with pain and may be difficult to achieve through the pain of starting over, listeners of “End to Begin” have an anthem to get them through to the other side. Haley Bundy is an American singer-songwriter based in Nashville. Hailing from a small Appalachian town, Bundy grew up with a deep connection to music. Starting her career at 13, Bundy has blossomed into a talented performer with over 200 shows under her belt. While moving to Nashville in 2024, Bundy has made waves in the music world. Her debut single, “June,” was just the start of a stellar discography, with songs like “My Problem is You” and “Glow,” with “End to Begin” adding to the list. If listeners would like to keep up with Haley Bundy’s newest music releases and performance announcements, they can keep up with her on social media, linked down below.  Written By Abby Mornhinweg FOLLOW HALEY BUNDY: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube

In a moody pop track, Belle McKee releases her first single of 2026. “MOVE”, released at the end of January, discusses McKee’s struggles with knowing she needs to move on, but being unable to get herself to take the steps away. The feeling is all too common: knowing that the relationship’s time is up, but being so attached that you cannot get yourself to leave. With electric guitars and an exasperated tone, McKee explains that even though the feeling is not reciprocated from her ex partner, she has never been a leaver and is not about to start now. The track is still upbeat and catchy, giving the vibe that McKee is more exasperated and angry at these feelings than sad and heartbroken. “MOVE” opens gradually, with the electronic pulsations and guitar chords heard throughout the track growing as the intro progresses. McKee’s voice is young but defined, perfectly expressing the feelings of self annoyance behind the lyrics. The first verse is full of comparisons to things that are unmovable. She is an engine-less car, she is a movie with an ending never written, and she is stuck in an endless waiting game. In the chorus, she sings “I should get a move on / But I stick to you like glue / So I turn the truth off / Pretend to miss the clues / You never needed me the way I still need you / So how do I move on when I'm afraid to move”. The end of each line holds a repeated riff in the vocals that is a downward spiral, mimicking the downward spiral of the relationship. Belle McKee is a Nashville based singer-songwriter. Born in a small town in New York, she graduated from Belmont University in May of 2025 with a Bachelor of Arts in Songwriting and a minor in Music Business, and also had taken Berklee College of Music classes online in high school. Her education has certainly helped streamline her career, but her songwriting and soundscapes come from her heart, as she aspires to share music that is honest and heartfelt with her listeners. In addition to “MOVE”, she has two EPs, an album, and a plethora of singles on listening platforms.

Lights takes the club to the car with her recent release, “Come Get Your Girl.” Her voice glows in electric, fast-paced productions, adding emotional depth to melodic bass and progressive house tracks. She centers the “Come Get Your Girl” around nostalgia and the open windows on the freeway with no destination in mind. Lights plays on the tension of hesitation and confessing how she feels, singing, “I don’t wanna wait anymore/ I’m in the city on the curbside/ Come get your girl.” This is a ride-or-die love—the type of partners that pick each other up at 3 a.m. when they need to clear their minds. “Come Get Your Girl” is as irreplaceable as that bond. The single reignites an old flame with synthwave features. The four-on-the-floor rhythm speeds like a convertible racing over the broken white lines on the freeway. Lights changes lanes from reminiscing old drives to locking in on a ride-or-die partnership with analog synths that sweep like the air flowing through the window. The guitar echoes with a melodic riff and an extra percussive touch. Lights’s vocals break through like the conversations and the thoughts that come alive in the dark. “Come Get Your Girl” turns up the volume and celebrates life from the passenger seat. Lights makes her career as a singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, comic book author, and DJ—the type of person who travels through every route. She has perfected the balance between dance music and storytelling. Lights has collaborated with Travis Barker, deadmau5, Kaskade, Illenium, Steve Aoki, and Seven Lions. Despite the subject, her vocals have a way of igniting hope that lingers after the song ends. The power to speak from her heart is what allows her to thrive and push the boundaries of indie, electronic, and dance music.

Ella Red IT'S NOT REAL Album Art via Nettwerk Music Group Ella Red is a whimsical fairy princess who mixes ethereal imagery and sharp lyrics to craft an impeccable discography. Her debut album, IT’S NOT REAL, kicked off my heavily anticipated albums of 2026 list. In August 2025, I had the pleasure of seeing Red perform as the supporting act for Ellise, and I instantly became obsessed with the artist. Her eerie soundscapes and heavenly voice make for flawless music. At that show, I was thrilled to hear a taste of IT’S NOT REAL, with songs such as “Ball and Chain” and “He Asked For It”. Red’s first LP is an emotional rollercoaster of rage, longing, self-criticism, and female empowerment. Through her 13 songs, the singer showcases her undeniable songwriting talent, impressive vocal range, and clever production.  Track List  Parasite Ball and Chain We’re All Gonna Die Funeral He Asked for It Predator Party Animal Aphrodite Cupid Always the Artist Religion Spider String IT’S NOT REAL PARASITE Red kicked off the album with the eerie, dark ballad “Parasite.” The moody production and the singer’s smooth vocals create the hauntingly beautiful atmosphere that lures people into the new project. The lyrics explore themes of self-hatred and helplessness. Red takes her depression and deteriorating mental health and turns it into a grim metaphorical parasite. She is the host for this “parasite” — one that is sucking her dry, leaving her a shell of herself. With her stunning vocals and descriptive imagery, Red successfully places hooks in the listener's mind and keeps them craving more.  Ball and Chain “Ball and Chain” continues the theme of mental health and self-loathing. The energizing track immediately catches the listener's attention with the electric guitar in the intro. When the verse hits, Red’s flawless voice takes over the song. While the song has a more upbeat sound, the lyrics are devastating. Written while Red was enduring an illness, the song reflects her fear of dying and the existential crisis she experienced. She was stuck in her head and wanted to break free. She sees everyone making the same mistakes, but she wants to change this for herself now that she’s in this crisis mode. “Ball and Chain” is a whimsical dark-pop anthem that perfectly encapsulates Red as an artist.  We’re All Gonna Die The theme of existentialism remains in “We’re All Gonna Die.” The song starts with a chorus of people yelling, “we’re all gonna die,” before transitioning into the alt-rock-influenced verse. The production is reminiscent of the 2000s punk-rock era, while Red’s vocals maintain her timeless, effervescent style. The lyrics discuss the inevitability of death, and no matter who you are and how you live, we all end up six feet under. In the chorus, just one line defines what it means to be human: “We’re just making up religions on our way out the door.” There are over 4,000 religions in the world, and only one can be true – but no one knows which. It is a coping mechanism to comfort us when faced with the finality of death. Red’s vocals are dripping with desperation and emotion as she wrestles with the uncertainty of an afterlife, showcasing her innate ability to turn lyrics into a cinematic tale. Funeral The story continues in “Funeral,” where Red ruthlessly celebrates the death of an enemy. Whether her muse is an ex-partner, a former friend, or a fictional book character, the story explores the feeling of pure joy and relief at knowing someone is gone forever. Red confesses that she’s happy at this person’s death – or the end of the relationship. Their demise was necessary for her happiness, as it was toxic and gruesome. Alongside this dark imagery, the production is fast-paced, with an alt-pop soundscape that creates a feeling of movie-like magic. He Asked for It Red lives out every woman’s fantasy in this devilish track. “He Asked For It” flips the script on the misogynist belief that a woman is “asking” to be sexually harassed or assaulted because of the clothes she was wearing, her dating history, or where she was walking at night. In this track, Red describes the story of her murdering a man simply because he asked for it. Read more about the track in my song review here . Predator The ominous vibe remains in “Predator,” where Red warns her subject that she is coming for them – and she’s out for blood. She’s a fox, a shark, a snake, slowly creeping in for the kill. Alongside her lethal lyrics, the dark-pop soundscape evokes a cinematic psychological thriller, with haunting vocals and distorted instrumentation to emphasize the message. Party Animal “Party Animal” diverts from the album's dark soundscape and is reminiscent of 2010s KE$HA, with energetic, fast-paced vocals and a catchy production. On a surface level, the lyrics seem fun and lighthearted. However, when you pay attention to the words, you uncover the devastating message. “Party Animal” explores the singer’s jealousy over this mysterious woman. She wishes to be her – desires to be the carefree, showstopping muse described. In the chorus, Red sings: “Somebody called me Aphrodite // I’m a little like Psyche.” This Greek Mythology reference indicates that she cannot see herself as the Goddess of love and beauty, which cleverly transitions into the next song. Aphrodite Red slows down the album with the dark emotional ballad, “Aphrodite.” The melancholy track is an ode to the Goddess, praying for answers. The song explores the singer’s desire for self-acceptance and breaking free from both society’s expectations and her own insecurities. About the song, Red said she wrote it about “what it feels like to live inside a body that’s been judged, desired, dismissed, and hated more than it’s ever been loved.” The raw desperation in her voice underscores her yearning to be released from the shackles and to be comfortable with who she is. In the bridge, Red’s haunting vocals repeat the line: “A woman fighting.” As the emotions build, the song plays the intro to Angela Davis’s January 21st, 2017 Women’s March speech: “At this very challenging moment in our history, let us remind ourselves that we, the hundreds of thousands, the millions of women…” Outside of the song, the speech continues with Davis concluding the quote with “...transpeople, men, and youth who are here at the Women’s March, we represent the powerful forces of change.” Red inserts this speech into “Aphrodite” to symbolize her desire for society to let go of the judgment and unrealistic standards imposed on women. As someone who has been in the crowd while Red sang this song, seeing so many women cry along with the lyrics highlights the power of the track and the inspiration of the singer. Cupid The somber atmosphere is maintained in “Cupid” with a soft, acoustic ballad and heartwrenching lyrics. Red describes losing another relationship, leaving the singer feeling numb and confused. She relays that she did everything right in the relationship and still was left broken. She blames Cupid for the destruction, always leaving her to mourn. This time, she describes her partner as the love of her life, but “Cupid had a deal he had to make // He said, every heart I loved, he would have to break.” Red’s voice conveys the feeling of loss that ties the entire song into one neat, yet devastating bow.  Always the Artist “Always the Artist” is an ethereal pop ballad containing soothing synth and delicate piano that beautifully complements Red’s stunning vocals. The singer expresses her frustration and sorrow that she is always the person writing songs about someone else, always completely infatuated by someone, but she is never the person being written about. She longs to be desired, to be loved in such a way that they feel inspired to sing about her, write about her, paint portraits of her. Instead, she’s left wondering if she’s worth the time to be someone’s muse, or if she is doomed to the fate of pursuing and not being pursued. Religion Red brings back the intense energy with “Religion.” The dark-pop anthem is a sensual ode to her lover. They are her religion – the one thing she spends all her time and thoughts on. She is fully devoted to them, and nothing else. The song begins with a deep bass that transitions to the beat-heavy verse. The synth melody reels the listener in and creates a feeling of dread and anticipation. When the chorus hits, the beat seizes to focus on the hook: “I found my religion, good God he’s a vision.” This allows Red to hone in on the obsessive message and emphasize the possession she is under. The moody soundscape and unique imagery make “Religion” one of my favorite tracks on the album. Spider String Returning to the morbid theme, “Spider String” paints a deadly image of decay and horror. With lyrics such as “I’d rather rot and ravage with the bug and E Coli // Lie in the hollows of the earth, somewhere that they’ll never find,” and “Let me decay // Be an ugly thing // Fill all my holes // With spider string,” Red describes her desire to escape from the world and become a part of the earth. She wants anyone who is listening to leave her alone and let her sink into this void. Similar to many of the other tracks, “Spider String” contains a dark, intense pop soundscape that evokes feelings of dread and gloom.  IT’S NOT REAL The title track is perhaps the most unique song on the album. In the verses, the singer turns to melodic rap to express her feelings of self-doubt and desperation. “IT’S NOT REAL” starts with muffled vocalizations and heavy synth effects to set the somber tone, before Red leads the verse with her spoken word. The singer expresses her exasperation at societal rules and gender roles, and not knowing where she belongs. The pre-chorus maintains the slow, haunting vibe as the singer rejects these thoughts. When the chorus hits, the song switches to a fast-paced, frantic melody that emulates the singer’s anxiety. Red’s ability to convey such vulnerable devastation while maintaining her iconic dark-pop soundscapes is one of the reasons so many people fall in love with her. IT’S NOT REAL by Ella Red  is a flawless album that can be played on an endless loop. There is not one song on the project that can be skipped, and every lyric is methodically written. As her debut album, she blew it out of the water. It is not every day an artist releases a perfect album, let alone it being their very first. From the anger in “He Asked for It” to the sorrow in “Aphrodite,” Red displays a range of complex human emotions. It may be too early to tell, but IT’S NOT REAL  is on its way as one of the best projects of 2026. Follow Ella Red on all social media !

Waltz into a dreamy, yet utterly realistic story of youthful romance with “Sweet Blue Moon” from artist Victoria Staff. Staff gives listeners insight into a relationship that details both the upsides & downsides of a young romantic connection. While the upsides are dream-like and have extremely high highs, the downsides replicate the same intensity but for low, difficult points. With an indie-alternative feel and layered writing, listening to “Sweet Blue Moon” reminds me of the experience of going into a secondhand store and finding someone’s love note embedded on an old postcard. Staff’s songwriting and tone are both delicate and a force to be reckoned with, showcasing that she is multifaceted - as is this romance (and many others) are. “Sweet Blue Moon” softly balances the joys and comfort of falling in love at a young age, then transitions and displays how time and personal conflicts can impact a relationship. This balance in the track is not only impressive to carry out as a musician/writer, but additionally presents Staff’s realistic knowledge of love & relationships. Personally, this song spoke to me with its realistic yet artistic presentation, and I believe it will impact many, many others.  While Staff brilliantly executes her songwriting in “Sweet Blue Moon”, the overall sound and feel of the song is unique and stands out in the world of pop music. Cleverly all connected, the title itself - “Sweet Blue Moon” - alludes to memory-protruding experiences that happen every once in a while. As listeners go through these rare experiences alongside Staff, they will additionally witness the beautiful, confusing aftermath of this passed moments. Down to the guitar tone, a very forward part of this song, you witness an acknowledgement and acceptance of complex emotion. It is undeniable that the vulnerability in this track is palpable and present in its every aspect. Although love and connections through romance vary by person, there is a type of nostalgia and emotional acknowledgment that can relate to many. As you explore the sweet, realistic world of “Sweet Blue Moon”, going forward, you will not be able to tear yourself away from Staff’s talent and ability to dig deep into pure emotion.  Victoria Staff is a singer-songwriter born and raised in Toronto, ON. Following the obtaining of her degree in Behavioral Neuroscience from UBC, Staff decided that this field was not the path of her true calling. After growing up surrounded by music and wanting to start a side project, Staff began playing shows in Vancouver for “beer money,” but quickly discovered that she may have found her true calling. A multi-talented artist with the ability to play guitar, piano, banjo, and ukulele, Staff is inspired by artists such as Hozier, Gregory Alan Isakov, and Taylor Swift. Her 2023 EP release, Records & Honesty, is a true reflection of the heartfelt labor and emotional experiences Staff has gone through and put into the project. Through creating her music, Staff hopes that people can “find therapy” within listening to it in the same fashion as she did while creating it. Currently, Staff is releasing music - such as “Sweet Blue Moon” - that speaks to her lived experiences and emotional maturity.  Written By Madison Spies FOLLOW VICTORIA STAFF: Instagram | Spotify  | TikTok  | Facebook  | YouTube

Lucy Frost is flexing those skills with their new single, "Prescription" which takes shows us how addicting love and emotion can be.

Personally, I'm someone who absolutely love words in all their glory and this song gives me that fix - no pun intended. Lucy does such a brilliant job at setting the idea in the beginning of mapping prescription reliability and love. The chorus' lyrics map what a withdrawal feels like using words like "crave" and "feeling the high" in the prechorus while talking about, "my body starts to shake" in the beginning of the chorus. Such a brilliant way to take a topic that we've talked about time and time again but doing it uniquely.

It's no secret that there is a plethora of celebrities who are considered nepo babies, a category of people who are the children of affluent figures who have established careers in similar industries. Many believe that nepo babies have only risen to where they are because of who their parents are, but it's important to remember that many of these individuals are incredibly talented despite their industry connections. Here's a list to explore of some of the most "Well-Known Pop Artists Who Are Nepo Babies." Miley Cyrus A household name since she was a child, Miley Cyrus is someone everyone knows, either from her days playing Hannah Montana or from her highly successful pop career. She's the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, an influential country artist from the '90s. Miley's solo career launched in 2007 with her number-one pop-rock albums Meet Miley Cyrus (2007) and Breakout (2008). She has since built an impressive catalog spanning almost a decade, including a number of successful hits like "Party in the U.S.A.," "We Can't Stop," "Wrecking Ball," "Flowers," and "Used To Be Young." Having achieved a plethora of accomplishments, Miley Cyrus has received a variety of accolades like three Grammy Awards, five Billboard Music Awards, eight Guinness World Records, one Brit Award, and three MTV Video Music Awards. Willow An American singer, actress, and dancer, Willow is the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. The young artist launched her music industry career in 2010, debuting with the single "Whip My Hair," peaking at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. She originally signed with Jay-Z's record label, Roc Nation, as he served as her mentor, becoming the label's youngest artist. She has since gone on to release several successful albums, spawning singles like "Wait a Minute!," "Transparent Soul," and "Meet Me at Our Spot." Willow has hit the charts on more than one occasion, climbing charts like Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard Hot 200. Gracie Abrams A young singer, songwriter, and actress, Gracie Abrams is someone most people have heard of, especially if they have social media and have heard her trending songs on there. The daughter of director J.J. Abrams, Gracie made her pop industry debut in 2019 after signing with Interscope Records, later releasing her debut EP, Minor in 2020. Since then, she has been amassing an incredible following, boasting over 37 million monthly listeners on Spotify. She has a number of accomplishments under her belt, including supporting acts like Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift on tour, charting on the Billboard 200, and winning the American Music Award for New Artist of the Year in 2025. Matty Healy (The 1975) Known for being the frontman of pop-rock band The 1975, Matty Healy is an accomplished English singer-songwriter and record producer recognized for his musical eclecticism, provocative stage persona, and lyricism. He's the son of two actors, Denise Welch and Tim Healy, making him an addition to our list of nepo baby pop artists. He formed The 1975 in 2002 with his schoolmates at Wilmslow High School and later signed with the independent record label Dirty Hit. The band has gone on to enjoy much success since then, reaching number one on the UK Albums Chart with each of their albums. Alongside his work with The 1975, Matty Healy is a vocal advocate for climate change mitigation and LGBTQ rights and has been described by Rolling Stone as a "spokesperson for the millennial generation." Elijah Hewson (Inhaler) An Irish rock musician, Elijah Hewson is the frontman of the successful indie/pop-rock band Inhaler. Hewson is the son of U2's frontman, Bono, and Dublin activist Ali Hewson. He formed Inhaler in 2012 with drummer Ryan McMahon and bassist Robert Keating, later joined by guitarist Josh Jenkinson. Though they were formed in 2012, they did not release their debut album until 2021. They have since amassed quite the following since their formation and debut, enjoying three successful studio albums and earning spots on the Irish and UK Albums Charts. Robin Thicke Another prolific nepo baby for our list, Robin Thicke is the son of singer/actress Gloria Loring and actor/songwriter Alan Thicke. Robin is best known for his work in the 2000s and 2010s, rising to fame as a singer, songwriter, and record producer. His most successful single to date has been "Blurred Lines (ft. T.I. and Pharrell Williams)," which peaked on top of the Billboard Hot 100, received diamond certification from the RIAA, and has remained one of the best-selling singles of all time. Outside of his music career, Robin has been on the Fox musical competition show The Masked Singer as a panelist. Taylor Swift Though there is some debate over whether or not Taylor Swift is a nepo baby, the pop artist's upbringing is at least nepo baby adjacent. Her parents aren't entertainers, but they aren't strangers to the music industry as her father is a former stockbroker with a history of advising music industry folks and her mother was a marketing executive. The connections might not be as straightforward as some artists on this list, but Swift is still a notable inclusion. Whether she would've launched into the worldwide fame or not without her advantages in life is uncertain, but she has certainly become a household name and is undeniably talented despite the amount of haters she has amassed. She has become quite the influential pop figure, celebrating a plethora of accomplishments including being the highest-grossing live music artist, the wealthiest female musician, and one of the best-selling music artists of all time. Enrique Iglesias Though he has faded from the limelight a bit in recent years, Enrique Iglesias is still a household name and was especially prominent in the 2010s. He is the son of Julio Iglesias, a prolific Spanish singer songwriter active since 1966. Following in his father's footsteps, Enrique is one of the best-selling Latin music artists with five Billboard Hot 100 singles, over 100 million records sold worldwide, and a history of success with both his Spanish and English-language albums.

Loreen has returned to release her new single, “Feels Like Heaven.” An EDM-inspired track building upon the intensity of a slow-burn start, Loreen has built up “Feels Like Heaven” just as the emotional catharsis is released into the chorus. With both emotional intensity in the lyrics and the production, Loreen learns how to let go and begin again. Throughout “Feels Like Heaven,” Loreen touches on self-acceptance, self-love, and finds Heaven in her own self. With that state of mind, “Feels Like Heaven” touches on the concept that Heaven and Hell may not be physical places that we can imagine, but states we find in our inner worlds. With this touch, Loreen not only creates a single that is uniquely great, but creates a message that is important to hear. “Feels Like Heaven” is heavy with catharsis and acceptance, two emotions that are the heaviest to carry sometimes and the hardest to reach. Loreen, throughout these emotions, catapults “Feels Like Heaven” into her own emotional catharsis. While the state of our inner world may be either our own personal Heaven or Hell, Loreen learns how to surrender and accept things as they are. With the messaging of this song finding itself into listeners’ daily rotations, Loreen’s personal catharsis translates through. With listeners asking for more, Loreen is well on the way with her new album WILDFIRE  out on March 27th. Loreen, also known as Lorén Talhoui, is a Swedish singer.

"On My Way" is one of music artist AZSH 's exceptional songs, an upbeat tune that embodies the phrase "When one door closes, another one opens". When life comes at you in ways you don't know that you can come back from, it's always important to keep going and never give up. The more challenges that are thrown at you, the more you can get back up from them and persevere and become stronger everyday. People face many battles, one after another, and these are what help you get through these challenges easier than before. Life can be unfair, but you can fight against this. Acoustic guitar chords and power pop melodies join forces in this sonically-confident single, either switching back and forth between these production sections or presenting themselves simultaneously. This style of creating music is prevalent in the empowering and motivational category of distinct pop music, which AZSH adds her own one-of-a-kind flair to, such as with the trap-esque beat paired with pop drums, and glittering synths that permeate throughout "On My Way". Also, through AZSH's powerful and spectacular vocals, she further conveys the messages in the lyrics in addition to the production doing this as well.
