Vaeh shares, “Iam naturally an introverted person…the world can be kinda intimidating. I am a very sensitive and empathic person and I just get overwhelmed. The first lyric that came to me was: ‘Advertisements scroll-like pavement, max us out like credit cards—don’t pay them.’ I feel like this was inspired out of the frustration with social media and the entertainment industry being so irresponsible. So many of my friends and colleagues are suffering (the pandemic only placed a magnifying glass on this) and much of that has to do with how we are inundated with billboards and ads everywhere telling us how to be happy or look. It can really create such a feeling of lack for so many, including myself. Too many people are underpaid and living off of credit and kindness. Unfortunately in this world…those things eventually run out.” Get your existential angst on and listen now: This lively new track expresses the social anxiety perpetuated by societal systems and social media, especially during an extremely vulnerable and stressful year. A portion of the proceeds of this single will be donated to to AKFSA – Andrew Kukes Foundation for Social Anxiety, an organization dedicated to educating social anxiety sufferers, mental health professionals, family and the general public about the diagnosis and treatment of social anxiety disorder. The single was written by Nadia Vaeh and Dion Shaw, produced by Dion Shaw and Tyler Spratt, and mixed/mastered by Tyler Spratt.
