Kipani’s latest single “Messy Room” off her album “Spoiled Ingrates” delves into the complexities of love, regret, and self-discovery. The song opens with soothing synths and electronic beats, setting the stage for what seems like a commercial pop track. But as the track progresses, it morphs into an edgy fusion of alternative and hard rock.
The collision of bold guitars and pounding drums creates a ferocious swirl of energy, while softer synths offer brief moments of calm amidst the storm. The juxtaposition of contracting instruments adds layers of complexity to the composition.
As the instrumentation reaches a crescendo, Kipani’s vocals soar above the chaos, emanating vivacity and an undeniably electrifying energy. The production quality allows each element to shine brightly without overpowering one another, leading to a well-balanced sonic palette.
Lyrically, the track is nothing short of exceptional. The opening lines, “I will blame me; I wasn’t who I should be; Won’t forgive that I didn’t tell you then,” set the tone for the song, revealing the narrator’s remorse for not being her best self in the relationship. The song then delves into the memories of the messy room shared with a significant other, a space that symbolizes the emotional clutter and unresolved feelings between them.
In a music landscape saturated with formulaic songs, ‘Messy Room’ stands tall as a track that dares to defy the conventions. So, if you crave the thrill of a song that breaks boundaries, “Messy Room” deserves a place in your playlist.
