Jessy Covets Confronts Inner Demons with Electrifying Defiance in “Monsters In My Head”
Jessy Covets pulls you into the dark, pulsating core of her single "Monsters In My Head." That opening haunting note seems to wash over you with a tidal wave of emotional strength, and the power in it is both suffocating but just as deeply exciting, like being caught up in bad weather you can't escape from, yet somehow, you yearn for. Filled with equal parts, cathartic alt-pop melody and unruly, unadulterated defiance—Jessy becomes almost unbearably vulnerable on the new single, which ebbs seamlessly between a sparkling pop landscape and electric-instrumental club beats.
Her lyricism hinges on a combination of introspection and rebellion, trying to be louder than the erratic whispers of overthinking and inner outbursts. It's the weary anthem for the wandering souls ensnared in their own minds who find comfort in its disorganization. The production echoes this inner conflict with roaring synths and propulsive rhythms, swirling around, building up until they almost burst. It's the opposite of a sad girl anthem—"Monsters In My Head" is an explosive and unfiltered confession wrapped in a moody groove, nostalgic for those nights when reality starts to blur and you find yourself dancing too close with your own demons.
