Doechii is moving swiftly. Each stride appears to propel her forward – whether she's participating in a photo shoot or a guest appearance, the American rapper is establishing her distinct identity and advancing in her career.
The release of her debut album, ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal,’ was met with significant excitement, but importantly, it has also demonstrated impressive staying power. More than just a fleeting trend on social media, Doechii is a genuine talent, excelling on various fronts.
Earlier this week, she teased her new single ‘Anxiety,’ which arrives at a pivotal moment for the rapper. While fans have embraced ‘Alligator Bites Never Heal,’ she seems eager to explore new directions for her music.
Consequently, ‘Anxiety’ ventures across different styles. It features soulful vocals, insightful lyricism, and powerful flows, anchored by a distinctive sample – she has revamped Gotye’s early 2000s hit ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ into a funky foundation for reflection.
In the lyrics, Doechii expresses the burden of expectations, grappling with both external pressures and internal struggles. She rhymes: “Fightin’ with my demons and my demons is winnin’ / I feel like don’t nobody ever feel how I feel…”
Referencing figures like Jacques Cousteau and abolitionist Harriet Tubman, Doechii draws on various names in her effort to understand her circumstances.
Often, her most direct lines stand out – notably the poignant “You keep the fame, I just wanna get paid,” highlighting a contradiction at the heart of the buzz surrounding her.
The song also carries a deeply personal aspect. ‘Anxiety’ showcases Doechii's journey toward self-forgiveness, embracing a level of maturity that can often be overshadowed by the intense focus of fame. At one point, she raps: “Made mistakes, ain’t no way to rewind / But fuck it, we get over shit over time…”
In another significant step forward, ‘Anxiety’ showcases one of the brightest talents in American rap enhancing her abilities.
