‘Disease’ Is Lady Gaga’s Long-awaited Return To Glitz And Gore
The single is full of iconic theatrical Gaga vocals, powerful and passionate as she belts out the chorus. Her use of growling and raspy vocals sounds similar to rock legends like Joan Jett and Janis Joplin, and it emphasises the anger and tensions Gaga is releasing throughout the song. She describes the single as being about “facing that fear, facing myself and my inner darkness” and “dancing, morphing, running, purging” which is reflected in the raw emotion of her voice and its evocative lyrics.

Ethel Cain's Haunting Sounds & Visuals of ‘Punish'
Ethel Cain’s latest single, ‘Punish,’ is a haunting exploration of vulnerability and emotion that shows off her unique song writing. From the moment the song begins, listeners are submerged into a spooky atmosphere, thanks to the eerie piano that sets a melancholic tone. Cain’s soft, angelic voice floats over the keys creating a sense of fragility.
Cain Sings slowly throughout, her vocals convey a weariness that feels deeply personal and almost as if she’s sharing a piece of her soul with us. There’s a tiredness in her delivery that speaks to heartbreak and longing, it’s impossible to not feel the weight of her emotions. The combination of the haunting piano and her broken yet beautiful voice creates a powerful sense of emotion but also intimacy throughout.
I Am Your Wife! Transcend To A New World In ‘Gore Confetti'
The enigmatic I Am Your Wife! emerges from the heart of London’s underground music scene, venturing into a genre-blending soundscape with their latest release, ‘Gore Confetti’. This work crafts a dystopian world rich with steampunk and gothic influences, creating an intricate sound.
‘Splatterpunk Chic’ fuses gothic undertones with bursts of alternative rock. It opens with intricate instrumentals of monotone, minor chords in the bassline, then springs to life with a more upbeat arrangement in the chorus, only to descend back into darker tones. This cycle of repetition reflects a bleak, numbing existence, echoed in MikeWife’s monologue lyrics like “Franco stares into the eyes of a photograph // And he counts up all the consequences // The radio crackles with three days of static”.
