Rising artist Raffaella is NYC born and bred, and that city girl vibe is encapsulated into a little bubble of clever pop that is her second single, “Bruce Willis.” While the badass action star is the title of the track, he is only mentioned once, giving way to Raffaella’s commentary of the “cool rich kid” mentality. Her songwriting is sharp – the chorus is made up of brutally honest lyrics that show the significance of the teen image, especially when it comes to physical wealth and appearance:
Broke into Gucci pretend that I’m bougie to fool ya,
All that AC feeds American dreams to the cool kids,
My straight jacket’s form keeps me cozy and warm till the morning,
All that AC feeds American dreams to the cool kids.
Her music runs deep. Not only is her voice beautiful, but she provides a social commentary on issues that are relevant in today’s society, which, in this case, is the upper class and the damaging image that comes with it. This makes her the farthest thing from your typical pop star. She’s smart, savvy, and here to stay.
Listen to Raffaella’s first single “Sororicide,” and keep up with her here.
