Aimee - Hurt Like Hell

Hurt Like Hell - Aimee (Pop) From the first few seconds of this track, you know it’s an anthem. Aimee’s voice is expertly produced—front and center, strong and intense, with a great build throughout. This is a track I would put on a playlist with some classic JoJo—Get Out and Too Little Too Late. It also belongs on your karaoke list because this bop has got some serious sing-along-ability. Back to Aimee’s vocal versatility, the slow down of the bridge and switch to a more airy, vulnerable tone is absolutely stunning. And man, in the finale when the music drops out for just a millisecond only to make room for a punctuating snare hit before steamrolling downhill through to the end—pure magic. Hurt Like Hell is definitely one our favorites.
Best Lyric: “When you find someone new, better hold her. Maybe you might do all the things that I told yah.”
