“At the time we wrote ‘Shave My Head’, I was thinking a lot about the expectation we have for women to act in a hysterical way,” explains American-born frontwoman Haley Shea. “Why women are portrayed negatively as hysterical and emotional, whereas crazy men are portrayed as tortured geniuses. ‘Bitches be crazy’ and such. It’s also a lot about the way we view femininity and relationships and what we expect women to be and how they should behave.”

HOUSTON’S KAY JAY NABS A TRAKKSOUNDS BEAT FOR “TOP SPOT”
The only good thing about the bottom is the view and no one knows that as well as Houston up-and-comer, Kay Jay. This emcee slash entrepreneur slash student slash philanthropist grew up in Houston’s Spring Branch area with a whole lot of nothing and that view up became the motivation needed for change. Like many though, the desire for a trip on the upswing in life took Kay Jay down all the wrong roads, landing him with a stint behind bars and, though he had accomplished many of his material goals by that time, what he had when he was released was exactly what he had started out with……nothing.

If you’re looking for electro-pop that is darker than most but still sparkles enough to be worthy of a pool party soundtrack, then Maudlin Strangers might just do the trick.

Most pop songs these days just need some swagger alongside the hooks, and Hays’ songs has that and more. (Don’t underestimate the power of unique bridges, kids.) – Buzzbands LA
