Los Angeles-based artist Makena is a rising pop star. She brings an edge to modern pop within her lyrics and raw delivery. She began performing and writing music at a very young age, and has grown up experimenting with different genres and styles that best fit the words she has to say. Her music is the embodiment of a lion in a cage- intense, yet kept together.
Makena’s latest single, “FUCK YOU I’M MAD” is not for the weak. It’s completely candid, serving as a poster on display for the artist’s frustration over a past relationship. Makena proves to us that not all songs about anger have to be loud and overbearing- this track has a steady hip-hop beat to it as her vocals spell out all of the artist’s inner rage. Some of her influences were stated as FLETCHER and Olivia O’Brien, which definitely make an appearance within the structure of the track. This song was made to empower, above anything else. It’s for anyone who needs to hear that there are reasons for anger, and sometimes you need to let it all out.
