[@dylanmcdowell3894]

The groove is otherworldly, my dudes. The final 2 minutes or so of this song teleported me into a different dimension, and you can tell the musicians are feeling the same way. This entire project is on a different level - the mix, the video, the groove, the vocals as always. Surreal. Not of this planet.

[@genasmith5817]

This woman's confidence in her artistry is absolutely unmatched. I've honestly never seen anything like it. She knows she has it. She's absolutely badass. This quote about her inspiration for this song is EVERYTHING: "“Someone said to me, ‘You have to make sure this is not going to make you bitter. Bitterness will rob you.’ And at the time I started that song I was in Resentment City, with all these labels trying to sign me and people pressuring me, telling me, ‘you’re never going to see a deal like this again,’ when I just wasn’t ready. So I said to them, ‘If you ever tell me I’m going to miss my chance or I’m going to run out of time, I will pack my bags and go back to Arkansas and I’ll quit singing. Because if I say I’m not ready because my mom just killed herself, then I’m not fucking ready. The answer is no.’ I don’t even own a Louis bag, but when I got my first check from publishing I wrote that line: “Put it in my Louis bag, don’t let it overflow.” It’s for any label that tried to sign me - for all those men talking to me like that. It’s me talking about all the confusion and the disarray I was feeling at the time, and delivering that right to their doorstep. I just sent those bad vibes right back to those motherfuckers.”" WOW. That is queen behavior. Imagine being in your early 20s and knowing your worth to that degree. Her mama must have really been special to instill this in her daughter. All of that confidence and self-awareness comes through in her performances. There is no one else like her. Period.

[@brendanbullock9468]

Discovering this has sent me down a deep rabbit hole, and I keep coming back to this again. Ten plays today? It's absolutely exquisite.

[@wisadhaadhitya1666]

Usually I mostly like the original versions of songs more because there really is a small number of artists that can improvise so good. Yebba is one of those artists, she is made of music, she is soft, but strong, excellent in studio and even better during live performances. She is that diamond that I feel so lucky I found early. I am so happy she has so faithful audience because I don't think this is meant for masses, but rather for people who can really listen and feel. Thank You Yebba! ❤️
