nessa barrett, jxdn - i'm dead (sped up)
Story behind the song
Arriving with more heat, rising singer-songwriter Nessa Barrett shares new song I’m Dead [feat. jxdn] as part of the Official Soundtrack for the new scripted podcast Prom In Hell.
On the track, fuzzed-out shoegaze-style guitars buzz up against the dreamy duet between these two fast-rising stars. jxdn’s anesthetized and anthemic delivery gives way to intimate intonation from Nessa as she assures, “Guess, I’ll be okay. This time you won’t know me.”
Featured in the recent #1 Apple Music Podcast Prom In Hell, a new podcast produced by Audio Up Media, the four part horror-musical-comedy series premiered earlier this week across all streaming platforms, check it out HERE.
I’m Dead notably marks the second collaboration by Nessa and jxdn following la di die, produced by the legendary Travis Barker.
The latter has already amassed over 100 million streams, currently spinning on New Zealand’s top pop radio stations ZM and The Edge, la di die has been climbing up the Shazam chart here.
Nessa has quickly transformed into one of the year’s fastest rising talents. Like la di die proclaims: “She’s gonna be a superstar.” Get ready for more from Nessa Barrett soon!
Lyrics
Oh, ooh-woah, oh
They tell me they're sorry, but
I think that they're lying
These drugs won't mean nothing when I'm dead
So why do I buy all of your shit? (Fuck)
They tell me to worry but I don't give a fuck
I got a story and I'm gon' light it up
My mom said I'm hellbound, yeah
You said I'm dead
(Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh)
My scars think they own me
I've been feeling real lonely
I think I must realize the problem
I don't know how I can solve 'em
It's up and down and then I turn around
Because my life's a mess and I need to rest, so
Don't let me go, I've been holding on
Sometimes It's hard for me to tell you everything
This time I'll be okay, this time you won't know me
I'm gon' rise up and I'll be the best
This time I'll be okay, this time you won't know me
And I'm gon' rise up and I'll be the best
