CONTRIBUTING AUTHOR Lyana

"NEVER LAST” is up–and-coming artist PINKNOISE’s (Kacey Foxx) debut single, and it is a debut done right. With multiple teasers on their TikTok page, it has generated much anticipation among avid viewers and listeners in the metal community. This track offers a compelling, addictive tune that blends introspective lyrics with a rich, immersive musical landscape. 

The song features a mix of electronic and metal elements, creating layers to its soundscape. The track’s production involves a polished, atmospheric approach, with reverb and echo effects adding depth. The use of synthesizers and hard-hitting drum patterns also provides a contemporary, electronic feel. PINKNOISE showcases their vocal versatility, seamlessly transitioning from whispers and echoes to steady, melodious choruses and impressive screams. The composition offers dynamic contrasts, with each verse and chorus feeling fresh and unexpected, enhancing the emotional intensity of the lyrics. 

The chorus serves as successful hook, leaving listeners addicted to the lyrics “Did you expect to get everything? / When you'd never change / Now you're all alone and seem to forget / Nobody handed me anything / Anything / Gave it all I had and more, never less”, and its melody is sure to be ringing on repeat. 

The entire piece should be appreciated for its lyrical depth. It captures an important moment of realization, marking the transformation into someone who relentlessly pursues their growth and unapologetically leaves behind what no longer serves them.

In short, "NEVER LAST" by PINKNOISE offers a captivating track that is both fresh and reminiscent of the nostalgic metal sound.
