From its opening moments, ‘Medicine’ establishes an atmosphere of tension and unease before erupting into an explosive chorus driven by crushing guitars and powerful vocals. Sitting comfortably between dark pop and alternative rock, the track perfectly balances melody with a heavier edge, creating a contrast that feels both compelling and cathartic. Dela’s commanding vocal performance remains the focal point throughout, bringing emotional weight to every lyric.

The song’s gothic-inspired visuals further amplify its dramatic appeal, with striking imagery of white lace, a black tasseled chandelier and a dark forest mirroring the track’s emotional intensity. Bold, theatrical and emotionally charged, ‘Medicine’ is proof that sometimes the most powerful songs are found in the space between beauty and destruction.

Written by Dela Kay, alongside Nick Cozine and Whitney Fenimore, and produced by Cozine and Stefano Pigliapoco, ‘Remedy’ took shape in the creative hub of East Nashville. Dela Kay recalls starting the session with melody ideas sparked on her way to the studio: “I came up with the word ‘Remedy’ as the key phrase and started building from there. I loved the indie feel we were creating with those Lord Huron-inspired guitar loops, and we blended it with the alt-pop sound my fans know and love. It’s a mix of playfulness and hope, and I can’t wait to share this new side of me with everyone.”

The track paints a vivid narrative of love’s complexities, exploring the vulnerability and courage it takes to consider giving a relationship another shot. With its indie-pop sensibilities and dynamic production, ‘Remedy’ bridges the gap between introspection and optimism, inviting listeners to dance through the pain.

“’Saving Face’ is about that person in your life getting their karma. Once they’ve dug their own grave of lies or BS, there’s no way they’re getting out of it (aka no way they’re “Saving Face”)” says Dela. Crafted in collaboration with her trusted producer and co-writer Stefano Pigliapoco, along with co-writer Nick Cozine, the song packs a punch with its infectious energy and in-your-face attitude. Drawing inspiration from pop-punk influences, ‘Saving Face’ is seamlessly infused with that signature Dela Kay edge.

The creative process behind ‘Saving Face’ was a whirlwind of excitement and synergy. “We got together and immediately vibed off each other’s energy,” shared Dela. “The melodies flowed effortlessly, and before we knew it, the lyrics fell into place.” Dela Kay is ecstatic about her latest release, expressing her anticipation for fans to experience the track’s infectious energy firsthand. “This song is a testament to embracing authenticity and standing firm in the face of adversity,” she exclaimed. “Super excited about this song and can’t wait for my fans to hear it!”

True to her vision, ‘Nasty’ incorporates a diverse range of musical elements, including pop, trap moments, and rock, all while maintaining an alternative sound at its core. Dela Kay’s exploration of her wild side is evident throughout the track, as she fearlessly embraces themes of sexuality and empowerment. Reflecting on the creative process behind the single, Dela Kay shares, “We started messing with this guitar riff I had saved in my voice memos, and soon after playing it over and over the melody and phrase ‘nasty’ came through. From there, we ran with the idea and had a lot of fun with it.”

Despite initial reservations, Dela Kay ultimately decided to share ‘Nasty’ with the world, driven by the overwhelmingly positive feedback she received. The song serves as a reminder to listeners to embrace their sexuality unapologetically and to revel in their own desires. “It’s about not being afraid to own your sexuality, no matter how you identify, and not being afraid to demand what you want and feel sexy,” says Dela Kay. “We all are secretly a little bit of a freak, so why not have fun with it. Being nasty is hot.”
