Nicole Obarzanek’s latest release, ‘Toxic’, is an unapologetic and sharp track about heartbreak caused by friendships. Her lyrics cut deep like a knife to your skin, while the production is very cinematic and upbeat.
Nicole Obarzanek is a young, upcoming artist, building a recognizable sound one release at a time. ‘Toxic’ is a song about a friendship that makes you wish you should have left sooner because staying just made you realize how much of your self-confidence you have put up for grabs. The track takes its time to build its intensity slowly and steadily. It is not the voice of someone who is exploding with rage but of someone who is very intentional and deliberate and honest about the pain that they have been through.
The production captures the high school energy perfectly. The drums give the beats a good rhythm, and Obarzanek’s voice floats over the instrumentation, stringing all the elements seamlessly. Her voice has a restraint, the quiet and calm kind, a stark difference from the flashy and hollow toxicity that is addressed in the song. The song holds your attention with its lyrics. It isn’t trying to make a scene or yell at you; instead, it presents to you the cold hard facts of someone who has wronged her, and she is finally ready to take her revenge, but in her own style.
It is a track you will definitely hit replay on, because hearing it once is not enough. You can listen to ‘Toxic’ by Nicole Obarzanek on popular platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube.
