TyDi is able to effortlessly bridge the worlds of electronic and pop music using bright analog synthesizers and punchy 808 drums for his latest single. TyDi manages to blend elements from the 80’s dance era with an attitude-laden performance conducive to today’s pop to create an uplifting dance pop track just in time for summer. TyDi enlisted American Idol finalist and songwriter, Geena Fontenella for “Nerve” to help bring the lyrics to life. “Nerve” is a beautifully balanced dance pop track that's easy on the ears and a radio ready track just in time for summer! The vocals are bright, energetic and emotionally evoking while the lyrics are thought provoking and so easy to resonate with during these times of civil unrest and life under quarantine. TyDi’s “Nerve” is also accompanied by a fun and easy to follow colorful lyric music video to sing along too. You can view the music video down below:
“As songwriters we sometimes speak for other people and what they might be feeling. We wrote this song for people who don't always stand up for themselves. The ones who might feel taken for granted. The people who are the loudest say they’ve “fallen on their sword”. But the people who are the loudest shouldn't be the only voice in the room. We added the line “I know that we want the same” as a nod to our shared humanity — sometimes it helps to remember we're all just human in the end.”
“Nerve” is a song bound to resonate with the masses during these unprecedented times while giving a voice to those who cannot always stand up for themselves.
