At a time where emotions are in disarray, it’s easy to feel, well, uncomfortable.
In her latest release, Seattle artist, CANNXN, channeled that energy by exploring the isolation, anxiety and overthinking that the world’s current status has brought upon us all. ‘Uncomfortable’ is a catchy, pop-track that hits you in the feels with it’s harmonies and textured vocals. The track’s chorus hits and you’re transported to an ethereal space. Your eyes are closed and you’re dancing amongst all of your emotions.
Uncomfortable. But not alone.
“I wrote the track over my time in quarantine when I felt I was going crazy. Every hour of the day began to feel the same, and I knew every corner of my bedroom all too well. There was nothing left to do than sit with my own thoughts, and every muscle in my body was tense as I sat in my room and began to overthink every aspect of my life,” recalls CANNXN. “I was listening to a lot of songs with darker textures at the time, and wanted to create something that sounded like the anxiety that was consuming me. When it came time to produce the track, I incorporated lots of different textures and harmonies within it, and it felt like I was really encapsulating being uncomfortable in my own body.”
