Melanie Pierce uses her music as a vehicle for emotional release with her new single Stir Crazy. The lyrics suggest she understands what’s holding her back and sharing these truths bring relatable comfort to her listeners. She’s dresses this narrative in a dark pop vibe that resonates with an aura of new wave post punk. In that way she bridges the vibes between The XX and Paramore.
The artist offers that Stir Crazy was written during a time when manipulation and lack of discernment were very prevalent. It resonates with the songs revolving drama, as the angst in Melanie’s voice builds with the drama. The cascading affect of the delayed guitar adds a dreamy under layer with some groove support and contrast coming from the drum section. It adapts with a seductive nature, as Melanie’s aggression presents a devilish attraction. It’s a facet she can’t escape and it’s at the essence of her plight in a toxic world where pretty people repeatably attract the wrong kind of attention.
