Known for her eccentric vintage style and retro-soul vocals, Faith was an unexpected but inspired choice for a high-tempo electronic track. She delivers a powerhouse vocal performance that feels raw and visceral. Her ability to hold long, belting notes over the 170 BPM chaos of the drums creates a sense of tension and release that is rare in dance music. The lyrics—revolving around self-reinvention, breaking free, and the inevitability of growth—resonate deeply through her raspy, emotive delivery. The Visual Identity: The Official Video
