How To Get Over You - Kaiyah Mercedes (Pop) Kaiyah Mercedes comes to us with a heart wrenching and soulful piano ballad about the aftermath of a breakup. The production is understated in order to set Kaiyah’s mature, sullen and emotive voice as the main feature. Piano centers the instrumental with, when paired with the swelling strings, offers descending cadences that really pull you into the melancholy that the track paints. That’s not to say there isn’t a fair share of ear candy—audible teardrops and rolling thunder help add to the atmosphere and add a good dose of uniqueness to the record. Hats off the lyrics as well, it’s a well explored subject matter but Kaiyah’s lyrics are as memorable as they are fresh.
Best Lyric: “I misread the room, I spoke to soon.”
