Reneé Rapp insists her songs are literally “actually miserable” – regardless of being “attractive” on the floor.
Reneé Rapp admits her sexiest songs are sometimes essentially the most ‘miserable’
The 25-year-old singer-and-actress says she is usually misconceived as a “assured” individual due to the optimistic spin on her woes in her lyrics, admitting she is definitely feeling ” depressed and borderline do not wish to be alive” on the monitor At Least I am Sizzling, from her newest LP BITE ME.
She advised GRAMMY.com: “I am perceived very in a different way from how I view myself and the way I truly am in my head. That is all the time so complicated to me. Everyone is like, ‘Oh, she’s so assured and embraces all the things. Wow, what a sister!’ However I do not really feel that approach wholeheartedly.
“I believe there was a number of admission on this album. There was a number of admission of my being damage, feeling not adequate, and feeling just like the second alternative. Even within the songs which can be so irreverent and attractive, like At Least I am Sizzling. If you wish to boil the tune all the way down to what it’s, it is like, Properly, I am depressed and borderline do not wish to be alive, however at the least I am attractive. I wished to make one thing that was a optimistic takeaway, or at the least a cute takeaway, from that feeling.
“When you boil down any of my songs or lyrics on paper, they’re actually miserable. Even those that you just assume are irreverent, empowered, and galvanizing are literally miserable. They suck. They really suck.”
Nonetheless, making the album made the Imply Ladies star – who’s in a relationship with fellow musician Towa Chook – realise how a lot she loves her life.
She continued: “I used to really feel like such just a little freak. Individuals would always simply be like, ‘Ooh, that is an excessive amount of.’ Or, ‘Oh my God, why would you do this? Why would you say that?’ After which, I realised that I simply wanted higher pals. I wanted individuals round me who did not wish to put me in a field and make me smaller in order that they had been snug. That is type of all the time been the case with me, and I believe it is the case for lots of artists and creatives. You typically get tossed into this little pile of being an excessive amount of, too emotional, or too awkward.
“[Making this album] was the primary time I favored my life. I used to be like, oh, f***. I like my life. I like my girlfriend. I like my pals. I like all the things that I’ve carried out. I like being alive, even when I am not glad on a regular basis. I actually felt that all through the making of this album — at the least the final seven or eight months, when it began to return collectively.”
