Taylor Felt is not playing nice anymore. On "I Wish U Would Cheat," her new bop out this Friday, the powerhouse vocalist and songwriter has transformed heartbreak into a gut-wrenching, soul-baring anthem, desecrating that particular kind of pain, excising it from the heart of the bar you have to hang out at with people you thought were friends. Guided by pure emotion, dirty melodies, and a vocal delivery that punishes each note within an inch of its life, "I Wish U Would Cheat" is an immediate gut punch, and we are here for it.
From its opening, haunting piano chords to the straining crescendo, "I Wish You Would Cheat" drips with vulnerability, rage, and a yearning for closure that never really comes easily. Painted in Taylor's deeply hued brand of bluesy grit, poppy accessibility, and emo undercurrent, this is an emotional battleground of a song, where pain and frustration are at war in the most cathartic way. Her vocal delivery? Electric. She feels, breathing every last drop of her soul into her words, leaving you raw and reeling.
A seasoned musician and songwriter, Taylor Felt has been developing her craft from a young age, weaving personal experiences into each word and melody. The storytelling depth is what makes her songs land hard. She doesn't simply compose songs. She bleeds them from her heart and spills them onto the page, letting people rediscover a piece of themselves in her heartbreak.
"I wish you would cheat" is an anthem for anyone who's ever found themselves in that land of emotional limbo, desperately needing an easy reason to quit.
