Indie-pop singer-songwriter Zathalen has never been one to sugarcoat the truth, and her latest single, "Supernothing," is no different. This song finds the middle ground, wrapped in the shimmering energy of dance-pop but anchored by a tender songwriter's soul, and pulls you into the quiet ache of trying to save the world when you're running on empty.
"Supernothing" presents an honest portrayal of a bittersweet foundation, rooted in the emotional paradox of feeling everything and nothing at once, as one wants to save everyone but ultimately realizes they cannot. The message comes as a wave that does not depart in realism, but as an unrelenting candor. This is an encapsulation of he growth as an artist. Although she began in the world of electronic music, it is here that her stripped-back melodies and brutally honest lyrics are allowed to shine. "Supernothing" captures that energy and blends it with bright indie-pop and dance-pop flair to create a sound that is both emotionally charged and effortlessly inviting.
Zathalen says, describing her music as "coustic pop for people who feel too much and say too little." That feeling is baked into every moment of "Supernothing." A track for those who cannot tell love from lust, the underdogs and those who fight the silent, factious battle of always tiptoeing to give all, without giving away their dignity over whether it was worth it. In a dance-pop landscape saturated with superficial polish, Zathalen instead delivers grasp and depth without compromising the groove. "Supernothing" may be more of an experience than something to listen to and it might speak to you on a deeper level, and that makes it all the more special.
