NESSA BARRETT - IT GIRL Rising singer-songwriter and dark pop’s new queen Nessa Barrett released her anxiously awaited debut pretty poison EP in September.
19-year-old New Jersey native Nessa Barrett moved to Los Angeles less than a year after graduating high school in pursuit of who she always wanted to be but never believed she could become. That is until she arrived at her first studio session in her new hometown in May of 2020. It’s not that she was new to music—it’d been there for her since she was a small child—so sitting down at the piano and walking away with an actual song felt both revelatory and, well, right.
The pretty poison EP is preceded by the rapidly breaking single “i hope ur miserable until ur dead.” Right out of the gate, it was at #8 on Spotify and trended at #9 on YouTube in addition to debuting in the Top 40. Not to mention, she made her very first entry on the Billboard Hot 100.
About the EP, Nessa shared, “‘pretty poison’ tells the story of my life over the past year since moving to LA, experiencing fame & dealing with social media, toxic friendships/relationships, my mental health & personal struggles, and falling in love with someone who really understands me. I’ve been working so hard on the music, visuals & have put my heart/soul into this project. so excited to finally share it with the world!”
These seven tracks show every side of her. Illuminating the scope of her signature style, she leans into a lullaby melody on the darkly catchy “grave.” At the same time, “i wanna die” feels tailormade for the closing credits of a classic nineties slasher flick. Her jazzy intonation adds raw emotion to “scare myself” as she admits, “Sometimes I even scare myself.” Over wobbling distortion on the title track “pretty poison,” she urges, “Say my name, say my name like you know it’s holy.”
Meanwhile, she continues to attract critical acclaim. Of “i hope ur miserable until ur dead,” Ones To Watch claimed it’s “a track more than ready to cement the rapidly rising star as the next vicious pop-punk star.” The Line of Best Fit recently hailed Nessa as “On The Rise,” going on to rave, “She is the architect of her own, grunge-indebted netherworld, leaning into the pop-punk revival close enough to brush shoulders with it, and yet retaining an extraordinary sense of self that belies her nineteen years.”
Nessa broke out big this year with her collaboration with jxdn “la di die,” produced by the legendary Travis Barker. The hit single has amassed over 200 million streams, cracked the Top 15 at alternative radio, and reached #27 at top 40 radio. The duo made their late-night television debut performance with “la di die” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and performed on The Ellen Degeneres Show. The song has received widespread acclaim from MTV, Elite Daily, Buzzfeed, and Nylon declared, “As the last line of ‘la di die’ says: She’s gonna be a superstar.”
Mark Twain’s Final Home Is Stunning & For Sale Samuel Langhorne Clemens was fascinated by thoughts of adventure as a boy, dreams that he later wrote about when he took on the pen name Mark Twain, which translated, was steamboat slang for 12 feet of water. Later in his life, he moved to Connecticut to be closer to his publisher. He eventually purchased a stunning estate outside of Redding that he called Stormfield - named after his last published story during his life, Captain Stormfield’s Visit to Heaven. The home is now on the market, listed at $4.2 million.
