This chilling song uses a beautiful collision of violins, drums and keys to create a sound which will surely be stuck in your mind; providing the perfect accompaniment to the singers soft yet unique voice. This goosebump-inducing track is matched with video set on a beach with a large ocean, to represent how overwhelming the emotions of a bad relationship can be.

This is highlighted further by her latest Instagram video in which she talks about the process of this song, claiming that she wrote it 5 years ago as she mentions how proud she is of her use of lyrics. She definitely should be as we see eloquent metaphors throughout the song, including: ‘Saturn is dust, now I’m covered in mud’.

This artists wonderful sound and her openness to her listeners is sure to make her someone who will continue to do well.  Give 'Set Me On Fire' a listen here now, then move on to the rest of her EP. -Shanice L
