narcissus - Izzy Pingrey (Pop) Izzy, get away from this person! In the beautiful and bittersweet “narcissus”, Izzy Pingrey paints a haunting and compelling picture of what it is to be in love with, then walk away from, a self absorbed, gaslighting narcissist. Now, songs like this can quickly turn into straight diss tracks, but Izzy’s maturity in analyzing not only the love interest but also her own decisions that kept her with them is captivating. What’s also captivating are Izzy’s Top 40 vocals over a heartstring pulling instrumental—those glistening hits of keys got us every time. And while there is so much to love about this track, what makes it stand above its peers is the absolutely brilliant storytelling and lyrics—from the word choice to the phrasing to the specificity, this track is pure poetry. A real standout.

Best Lyric: “Say you’re sorry just to listen to yourself while you talk.”
