In almost 20 years, social media changed the world and revolutionized the way we communicate. Do you still often send an SMS? ;)
Solicited from all sides, with an average of 300 notifications per day, which generate dopamine in our brain, the famous sensation of reward, social media act like drugs.
The pressure to always have to do better than others, to show a life that you don't necessarily have, today's society no longer has anything to do with what it was 20 years ago.
This feeling of suffocation is precisely the subject of this song. When you need to activate "Flight Mode" in your head and refocus on what really matters.
MarynCharlie always writes about her personal experiences. She, too, sometimes feels locked in this virtual world, where our first instinct upon waking up is to look at a screen to find out what we have missed. What if what we were really missing was quite simply: to live?
The artist based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, has already understood the eternal torment that many phone addicts suffer from. And being able to understand that at only 22 is a sign of great maturity.
Our singer expresses herself clearly, with a voice that capsized us from the first seconds, and her writing clearly worthy of an artist who already has 20 years of career behind her.
The production quality is excellent here: we find all the technologies of today, while the song gives us a retro feel, a bit like a track from the early 2000s.
4 other tracks are available on her Spotify, and if you are curious like me, you will love to browse them.
MarynCharlie is truly an underrated artist who doesn't need much to get off the ground - just to be noticed. An artist to watch closely because you could hear about her everywhere. There is a huge potential, here.
Included in our "Indie Pop" Spotify playlist.
