“AMERICA (Secrets & Money)” by Andii Styron

The gap between the haves and the have-nots continues to widen, as Andii Styron highlights in her poignant new release “America (Secrets & Money)”. Stylistically influenced by classic 90s alt-rock, this track immediately recalls the musical sphere of Alanis Morisette’s ‘Jagged Little Pill’ album.

Throughout this release drums hit with fury, just like with Alanis’ style, the track pays attention to how unfair society has become. With things heavily skewed in favour of those holding power, the song rebels against those holding power, all whilst effectively protesting for the unacknowledged, underrepresented, and hurt ones.

“AMERICA (Secrets & Money)” comes into focus slowly but surely, like waking up from a nightmare. Upon realizing reality, that nightmare is the present, the monster was not from dreaming but from living. Lyrically the artist tears apart the talking point of equality, her verses show exactly how futile it is for so many to achieve the basics; terrible healthcare, the homeless, everything that has gone on for far too long in what is the wealthiest country in the world. Yet millions of people never realize what that term means, being left behind and ignored. Violence happens to many, yet the few who can stop it never do anything to prevent it. 

“America (Secrets & Money)” has Andii expose the hypocrisy of modern America, the pain it continues to cause, and the injustice that needs to end.
