about

Creatively and authentically carving out a unique pathway in modern pop, San Diego-based songwriter and producer Estella Dawn fuses genres and performative influences to a boldly impressive degree – not least of all with her latest heartfelt reckoning ‘Just Me’.
Featuring simple yet hypnotic production, a familiar chord pattern but subtly unorthodox detailing to instantly set the mood, ‘Just Me’ starts off with the strength of its easily memorable hook; a seductive listing format combining melancholy and a catchy tune. It then proceeds to weave in various switches in flow, pace, volume and intensity, throughout an increasingly emotive lifespan.
Far from the first single to employ Estella’s fast-paced lyrical outpourings, though perhaps one of the more striking given the contrast between this and the simplicity of the chord pattern, ‘Just Me’ guides listeners through a relentless and almost diary-style presentation of ideas and feelings – reflecting on the ache of a broken relationship with equal parts anecdote and relatability. Swiftly we’re taken from quiet contemplation to gritty scorn and back again, all the while our leading singer continuing to maintain essential roots amidst the familiarity of the ‘Just Me’ resolve and underlying production.
‘Just Me’ promises a fiercely honest, unapologetic performance, unpredictable from one moment to the next, but gripping and ultimately satisfying as it relays these unforgiving lows and their impact on self-preservation and perspective.
From one single to the next, Estella Dawn’s ability to seamlessly bring together professionalism and genuine human emotion, in a consistently original and unmistakable way, continues to captivate. ‘Just Me’ sees Estella turn somewhat back towards the soulful longing and intimacy of singles like ‘Follow’ and ‘Not A Problem’, only this time we get the added appeal of those snappy verse bars; alongside that unrivaled immersive production and limitlessly mighty vocals.

lyrics

It’s just me
who’d jump at any chance to try
It's just me
replaying memories in my mind
it’s just me 
who doesn't wanna let it go
it’s just me
who hates the thought of you with her
I'm the only one who ever thinks about it
I'd pick something over nothing
Every. Damn. Time.
but it's just me with my feelings all alone
it's just me

Know that I should quit you
you put me out like a cigarette
always leave me dragging
I'm curled up in the front seat of my car
text typed out not sure if I should send it
cuz time goes past
I'm moving on
starting to forget
then you pop right up out the blue
like my post
the fuck you do that?

cuz a woman unsure of her place
is a woman who's gonna be a problem
and it feels so right when we're together
I forget every time that you've left me at the bottom
my delusions
got me clueless
hearing what you say
ignoring what you do
my god never looked so stupid

gotta get you out my veins
don't know why I've been saving space
I don't give up on people I love, no
but you aint ever gonna change

It’s just me
who’d jump at any chance to try
It's just me
replaying memories in my mind
it’s just me 
who doesn't wanna let it go
it’s just me
who hates the thought of you with her
I'm the only one who ever thinks about it
I'd pick something over nothing
every damn time
but it's just me with my feelings all alone
it's just me

So I'm sorry that I hit you up
that I got too drunk
that I got so messy
embarrassed, spilling my feelings all over you
that ain’t what you were expecting
and it's all my fault
I played the 'cool girl' for so long
think that I fooled myself
I did that to myself

now you don't wanna touch me
you look fucking scared of me
and I haven't even raised my voice
but I feel like a monster
you say "please enough, this is too much"
pushed you away with my honesty
you ask "what the fuck do you want from me?"
you're so guarded
it could be mistaken for heartless
isn't it obvious?
I want you to want me

but you don't 
and it doesn't matter what I say
because I always end up saying it wrong
gotta get you out my veins
what a waste of space
mmmm
gotta get you out my veins 
what a waste
