WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"‘No Complaints’ is a mantra that I learned to embrace over the past year as I struggled to find my place in both my music and in my life. It’s a combination of opening yourself up to new perspectives and understanding that you DO belong here. This song encompasses the wisdom I’ve gained from loved ones I’ve lost as well as my appreciation for those who continue to love and believe in me. Life is good."

LYRICS:

I don't want you to talk to me
The way you're acting tells me everything
This feels like a recipe
For disaster but it's missing something

I don't want to know what you did
I don't want the pictures in my head
I don't want to hear your words
Controlling my thoughts when I'm in bed
Sticking to me, trying to make me lose my mind
All the time
I think about leaving but it's hard to find

Another you
Another you

You've already rolled the dice
You've been living in paradise for a while now
And I don't know why it feels like
I'm stuck but I don't want to find out

I don't want to know what you did
I don't want the pictures in my head
I don't want to hear your words
Controlling my thoughts when I'm in bed
Sticking to me, trying to make me lose my mind
All the time
I think about leaving but it's hard to find

Another you
Another you

We can't stop listening to TS Graye's, 'Honestly'. Stream it here! 🦂

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Since its release last week, we’ve been obsessed with TS Graye’s new song titled, ‘Honestly’. An empowering track that highlights TS Graye’s incredible gift behind the microphone. Both her lyrical style and overall vocal performance is something that not only demands your attention but feels refreshing and creative.

The production matches her energy in an explosive way, mixing styles of hip-hop and pop, TS Graye’s style could be described by the sounds of early Lana Del Rey but bolder and unique in her own way.

Don’t believe us? Check it out for yourself and you’ll be humming and singing along in no time. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"Honestly is about being in love with someone in spite of how they treat you. Even though other people don’t approve of you staying in a relationship, and can point to times when your partner has lied to you or treated you badly, you make excuses for that person, because you see them through different eyes. They have always been the way they are, and you have always known it, but you accept that they’ll never change and that you love them for it anyway. It’s an explanation rather than an apology -- sometimes love is based on something so deep that you can’t explain." — TS Graye

Stream CAPPA's new song, 'Sux', here 🎶

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Electro-pop artist CAPPA made her big return over the weekend with her catchy new single titled, ‘Sux’. For our close readers, CAPPA has made quite the name for herself with her undeniable talent for writing and performing. Over the years, the artist has grown in a number of ways. Her lyrics, her tone, her delivery, her style... ‘Sux’ is without a doubt some of our favorite work yet.

In the past, we praised the Philadelphia-born artist for delivering music that was catchy, sure, but in this case, we needed to shine a little more light on her lyrics and the deeper meaning behind her music. With ‘Sux’, CAPPA passionately delivers an empowering breakup anthem that touches on the toxicity of bad relationships. But not only that, she makes it fun and enjoyable.

CAPPA is as genuine as they get. Whether it’s performing, writing, or sharing ideas.. she lays it all out there for the world to dissect and we couldn’t be anymore grateful for that. The world needs artists like CAPPA just as much as we do. Perhaps we’ll be able to convince her to come out and perform down the road, but until then, don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!
