"I HATE MY BRAIN" BUT I LOVE CASEY'S NEW SINGLE

Indie artist CASEY showcases her vulnerability and puts out her most personal single yet with "I HATE MY BRAIN." The song is a relatable, solemn, and introspective look at the feeling of when your brain makes you feel like you’re in a negative spot and you’re spiralling.

"I HATE MY BRAIN" opens with soft guitar strums and CASEY singing with a very melancholy tone. CASEY paints a picture in your head with her vocals, detailing how she doesn’t love herself and how it’s hard for her to find love due to her brain. The verse ends and it immediately switches to a chorus with so much bass that it makes you feel like you’re listening to a different song. CASEY continues the theme though and just laments on how she wishes she knew how to escape the negative spiral her brain is causing her. Tension continues to build sonically as she explains to listeners, "I wish I knew how to get out/but I don’t really know how." The last verse is CASEY continuing her self-destructive behavior and singing of how she forgets to take her meds to help her and instead opts to smoke to help her forget instead.

"I was terrified to do music things because I have no idea where i’ll end up," explains the artist. "A majority of of my brain energy is spent thinking about this and I HATE IT. This song is a big F U to my brain."

The single is produced by Nydge and mix/mastered by Origami Human. The single is yet another stepping stone in songwriting, with CASEY giving a masterclass on Gen Z's feelings of failure, anxiousness, and self-loathing. This also marks CASEY's first new single following "Without Ya" featuring Melvv which was released in March. The underrated indie pop darling has swiftly become an artist to keep an eye out for with her tongue-in-cheek anthems that capture the anxiety of love and just being alive. Don’t sleep on her next single, which inside sources have told me, is releasing within the next few months and is a bop.
