Amity Hayze’s new single “Drunk on Expectations” is a total rush of energy from the moment it kicks in. It’s loud, fast and full of emotion, the kind of track that makes you want to turn the volume all the way up and just let go. The guitars hit hard, the drums are tight and the whole production feels so powerful.
The song dives into that feeling of trying to live up to what everyone expects from you, and the frustration that comes with it. There’s this mix of rebellion and vulnerability in Amity’s voice that fits perfectly with the theme. It feels honest, a little chaotic, but also empowering, like she’s done trying to please anyone but herself.
We like how this track blends nostalgia with something totally fresh. You can hear touches of early 2000s alt-rock but Amity gives it her own flavor. The melodies are catchy, the chorus hits hard and it’s all tied together with her bold performance and strong personality.
We really love the energy she brings here. The lyrics are sharp, the delivery is confident, and it’s one of those songs that just sticks with you. “Drunk on Expectations” feels like the kind of anthem that reminds you it’s okay to break free from what people think you should be and we’re all for that.
ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Amity Hayze is a self-produced, queer, Native American/Mexican artist making emotionally driven alternative music that blends shoegaze, Midwest emo, and surf rock aesthetics. Her new track, “How Could You Love Me?” explores self-doubt within one’s relationships, the feeling of not being enough and not knowing how to fix one’s self-perception.
“I want my music to be the kind of thing you find at 2am when you’re not sure what you need, but suddenly it’s exactly that. I want it to feel like flipping through a burnt CD binder, or watching static on a CRT TV and hearing something deeper in the white noise.”
