A warm welcome to BuzzMusic YESLA. We were totally taken aback when listening to your heated and striking single, "If You Dare." What inspired you to create such a robust and fiery track like this?
Much like this record, At the time I was feeling like bursting with energy from the frustration of being misunderstood. I wanted to take that momentum of passionate emotions and create a song that radiated.
Was there a particular message that you wanted to convey with your spicy lyricism in "If You Dare?"
The message that I wanted the song to convey is F*ck people's opinions! Most of us go on through life seeking validation through others and let their opinions of us mold who we are going to be. It's a mental prison that I think we should all break out of. Happiness comes from within so once you rid yourself of the burden of others' opinions, you can begin to become the best version of yourself.
Did you have any help crafting the instrumental arrangements for "If You Dare?" Why did you choose to go with this grunge-like, animalistic, and heavy instrumental tone/atmosphere?
From the beginning, I had the idea that I wanted this song to be gritty & present. My friend & guitar player Emily Rosenfield helped me find that signature Buzz Bass sound. She is actually playing both guitar and bass throughout this record! Once we got those perfect guitar moments down, it was time to hit the studio where we played around with numerous preamps & filters until we found the heavy tones we were looking for. I really wanted to make the soundscape of this record as impactful as possible because I was looking to evoke a strong feeling just through the instrumentals alone. The grunge-like atmosphere allowed us free-range with the vocals which I believe really ties everything together.
Would you say that your artistry is well-represented through dominant and powerful songs like "If You Dare"? Do you usually take this sultry and stimulating route with your music?
Yes, I would definitely say that my artistry is well-represented through the creation of dominant & powerful records. Now, 'power' doesn't have to necessarily mean loud and in your face; Sometimes power can shine through softer moments & songs as long as there is purpose. Creating this song was especially meaningful because I really feel I found my artistic 'sound.' This is a great representation of what is to come next sonically for me.
What's next for you?
A lot is next for me! I plan on releasing another song around the 31st of October as an ode to my Halloween birthday. I also plan on making a glorious return to live music in the new year so be on the lookout for show dates. I'm very excited about what is to come!
