Selfish Bitch - Jason Shand (Indie Rock) Welcome to the return of the diss track. On his latest single “Selfish Bitch”, Jason Shand pulls no punches, calling out a former lover for their self centered egoism. The delivery, however, comes not from anger, but from hurt, with the message coming from a raw and vulnerable vocal that easily slips up into falsetto at moments of peak pain. The production thuds and swells on “Selfish Bitch”, with the subby kick feeling like a heartbeat as a ‘wild west standoff’ guitar sets the atmosphere. The instrumentation remains understated until the shimmering synths sweep the listener into themselves and usher in the drums, as well as a ‘radar ping’ that really punches the heart. Still unpacking a recent heartache? Get this on your playlists.
Best Lyric: “Maybe it’s better that I never know, maybe it’s better that I let it go.“
