Staytus Returns with an Edgy and Honest Track

Staytus returns with a new single that delivers a thick laid alternative soundscape that borders on industrial, alt-pop, and even electronic, utilizing wild and reeling synth as a main instrument, pushing the edgy and almost haunting tonality and even theme of the track.

"Headache" most certainly touches on some personal attributes in terms of its lyrics. The song goes through personal struggles, which some people can take different ways depending on who's listening.

You can tell there is pain there. This track was a way to let things out because maybe that's the only way the artist knows how to do so.

Thank goodness for things like this because it's what real art is about. Not having many walls built around what you're creating is important when you're being honest and genuine.

Staytus is an artist who stays true to herself, especially in terms of the lyrics that she's putting out there because they're always robust, a little bit intense, and seem to come from some authentic place.

Perhaps that's why it sounds like this is just so addictive. Perhaps a lot of us can connect with some of what she's singing about.

Either way, this is a song that boasts this sort of cinematic edginess, and it's almost like a cry out, which I found so refreshing just because the emotion that is delivered throughout the song vocally matches the energy of the music itself.

The production is awesome. This has a widespread beat, it comes through with a slightly 90s underground alternative, but it also has a bit more of a heavier hand as well. This is why I mentioned how it borders on Industrial Music.

The track isn't full on Industrial, but it has those harder hitting beats, the metal percussion elements, and that wailing since that drives the track, sending you down the spiral with her.

I definitely loved how this was put together. You can tell that this is an artist who always pays attention to the production of the music.

She wants to make sure that the musical aspects lineup with the emotion of the lyrics.

This track, in particular, was produced by Sean Beavan, likely most known for his work with Nine Inch Nails and Slayer. 

This was a bit intense. I like the intensity, though. A song like this should have that level of what I would consider to be tension, and that's because it's so honest.

There are frustrations, thanks, and pain, all coming through in this song, and that's something that a lot of us can connect with.

This was done right. It was real and packed a heavy punch, all that edginess with the dark lurking in its undertone constantly.

To me, this is a track that would go amazingly in the soundtrack of a horror film or something.

It just has that vibe.

The song gives off a great vulnerability and may even be cathartic to write and release into the world.

If it were me, it would be.

We are familiar with Staytus, as I mentioned a little earlier. There's always a piece of herself in her music delivered with passionate vocals that showcase the emotion she wants to display at the time.

"Headache" is no exception to that rule.

This is a song that speaks volumes for the artist and how she's able to put songs out there that have an impact. Whether it's because the music hits so hard or we connect with the theme or sentiment of the track, it's impactful. You don't soon forget songs like this one.

Check this track out, and like most of the music from Staytus, I'm going to suggest doing it with headphones on.

You can then take in all of the powerful textures and tones that come through.

Let yourself get engulfed in this track. It's awesome.

Remember where you heard this first.
