Local pop sensation Tyler Page is certainly a breath of fresh air in the local music space. Her moody approach to pop music helps her stand out of the crowd and she has already proved that she is a force to be reckoned with after dropping ‘Teenage Werewolf’, ‘WAGMI’ and ‘Don’t Believe The Aliens’. Now, she’s back with new music as she premieres ‘If It Wasn’t 4u.
The song, a collaborative endeavour with Bad Future producer Paul Gala, begins with a delicate and exotic string theme unexpectedly set off by a massive trap beat and heavy droning bass. These juxtaposing opposites evoke an exciting sound while Tyler’s tranquilizing voice cascades and glides over the dark yet warm instrumentation – haunting and consoling at the same time.
The theme explores the act of being rescued by someone, a circumstance or deity; the mechanics of said rescue, however, are achieved by trimming one’s defects to make one whole and ‘perfect’. Life, the beautiful beast that it is, offers moments where happenings appear seemingly tragic at the time yet in hindsight make one better and stronger. ‘If It Wasn’t 4u’ thus pays homage to the person, event, or deity that facilitates such transformation.
“‘If It Wasn’t 4u’ is a song of immense gratitude for that one person, a love, a family member, a friend or for God – who has changed your life completely for the better, so much so that it saves your life,” Tyler tells us. “Sometimes it’s very painful to be changed, like a tree that has to be pruned to carry better fruit. This song is about the tough experiences that take place to ultimately shape and save us through tough love.”
