Single Review: Fly Away by Frosty

 Frosty's "Fly Away" immediately captures the distinct sound and mood of the early 2010s indie rap and alternative scene, strongly reminiscent of the emotional intensity found in tracks like Twenty One Pilots' "Ride." The core of the song is an intense, driving desire for total escapism, repeated over and over in the chorus: "I want to run, and fly away, far away." This isn't just about taking a trip; it's about a complete mental and emotional flight from reality. The first verse emphasizes this craving for a fresh start, expressing a wish to "grow wings" and shed "earthly possessions" to find a new beginning away from overwhelming stress and conflict. The repetitive structure turns this longing into an anthem for anyone feeling weighed down and searching for temporary peace or a moment to clear their head.

​The deeper emotional weight of "Fly Away" comes from the second verse, where the narrator reveals the pain driving this need for escape. The lyrics touch on themes of regret, past mistakes ("I was living through hell"), and keeping painful secrets that cause intense mental strain ("The thoughts are painful, they make me ill"). This internal struggle makes the repeated call to "fly away" feel urgent—it's the desperate reaction to deep-seated guilt and anxiety. By blending a catchy, rhythmic delivery with deeply personal and relatable themes of starting over and moving past mistakes, Frosty successfully creates an impactful song that perfectly channels the introspective, heartfelt energy of that specific musical era.

Artist Interview: Shallo

  Meet SHALLO, the Dublin-based duo composed of Shawn and Willow, blending alternative rock and metal with high-energy live performances. In this interview, they share the story behind their music, their creative process, and what's next for the band. Tori: Congrats on your new single “Betrayal”! Can you tell us about the story behind it and how it came together? Shawn: It began with me having an initial idea for most of the song. I knew what I wanted the lyrical theme to be, and the riffs and melodies followed that. Most of our songs begin with that anyway, and I record it all into my computer and send it off to Willow. Willow: When I got the first draft of the song, one of the first ideas I had was in the bridge. The original version that Shawn sent me did not have any vocals for the bridge, just the riff. Shawn straight up told me "Do something here". This gave me the space to come up with the bridge vocal part that thematically fit the song. Tori: What was the inspir...
