Tierra Whack Admits She Doesn’t Always ‘Feel Good’ On Her Melancholy New Songs

Releasing ‘Feel Good’ and ‘Peppers And Onions,’ Whack addresses the ups and downs of fame. …

Tierra Whack’s latest single, “Feel Good,” finds the undefinable Philadelphia artist in an introspective mood, admitting that fame isn’t always what it’s cracked up to be. Over a dreamy but melancholy backdrop, Whack wonders, “Why would I lie and say I feel good when I don’t feel good?” Although the track is short — clocking in at around 100 seconds — Tierra proved she can pack a lot of emotional content into a relatively short space with her breakout project Whack World two years ago and it looks like that gift hasn’t dulled with her time away.

Whack also released the song “Peppers And Onions” today, addressing “the pros and the cons of bein’ the bomb.” Despite being more upbeat than “Feel Good,” with a bouncy beat full of perky whistling and tongue-clicks, it’s a subtle commentary on the imperfections of being human and especially a celebrity. “Even though we buy chains, we just wanna be free,” she raps. “I don’t wanna be judged, I just wanna be me.”

Premiering the songs on Apple Music today, she told Zane Lowe, “All these good things were happening for me, but at the same time it was happening so fast I wasn’t able to take it all in. So I feel like everything is like a gift and a curse”

She continued, “I got to just reflect on everything that I had did prior, and I just was like, wow, I really need to be happier. I deserve to be happy. I should be happy. There’s no reason I should not be happy. Because for a minute I was feeling like I just didn’t know what to feel. I was confused. I’m seeing everybody around me was excited and happy for me, but I didn’t feel happy inside, and I didn’t know why.”

Dominique Xishak questions the search for love and money on latest release “Delusional”

Dominique Xishak takes a confrontational approach to modern relationship expectations with “Delusional”, a rap track that questions what some people demand from a partner and what they bring to a relationship themselves. The song focuses on the perceived gap between wanting an ideal man and being willing to offer the same level of commitment, honesty, and personal responsibility. Rather than approaching romance with a soft touch, Xishak uses a direct lyrical perspective to challenge these expectations.

The track raises questions about appearances, personal choices, and the motivations behind seeking a partner. Its subject matter includes cosmetic surgery, the pressure to meet certain physical ideals, and the possibility that financial status can become more important than genuine connection. Xishak also addresses the tension between demanding a good partner and overlooking the qualities that make a healthy relationship possible. These themes give the song a provocative edge and invite listeners to consider the standards they set for themselves and others.

“Delusional“ positions Dominique Xishak as a voice willing to tackle uncomfortable conversations about dating, attraction, and relationship priorities. The message is deliberately challenging, encouraging debate about whether people are truly searching for meaningful partnerships or pursuing an ideal shaped by appearances and money. It is a track designed to provoke reactions and get listeners talking.

Shadowspell invites listeners into a world of fear and defiance on latest release “CYANIDE”

Shadowspell’s latest hard-hitting single, “CYANIDE,” explores disturbing thoughts, fear, and the struggle with sanity, pulling listeners into a disquieting world of inner darkness. Big drums and guitars drive the song, creating a powerful atmosphere for its troubled emotional landscape. Its central thesis is chillingly provocative, darkness is no longer in the past, but has settled in.

The song’s lyrics drop the listener into a mind where scary voices are a strange kind of survival, and nowhere else seems safe. Shadowspell doesn’t push fear away; it brings it to the front and center, inviting listeners to face the unsettling thoughts and feelings at the song’s heart. The lush instrumentation gives this tension a gritty edge that suits the song’s defiant spirit.

If you enjoy exploring darker musical territories, CYANIDE delivers a heavy, intense listening experience that blends heavy drums, powerful guitars, and psychologically charged themes. Shadowspell embraces awkwardness, not smoothing it over, and makes a track that sounds raw, confrontational, and unashamedly uncomfortable. The result is a record that exposes inner turmoil and demands that the listener confront the shadows instead of simply turning away.
