Abz Winter “Just Wanna Be Me”
Abz Winter represents many things but certainly not an inside-the-box type of artist. She’s rebellious, unapologetically loud, honest, and daring. She challenges social norms, pushes the boundaries, and rewrites rules through her unique voice and easily relatable youthful perspective.
Abz Winter has a uniquely charming voice that easily stands out in the crowd. She handles the intimate, emotive moments so beautifully, while at times, she takes you on those powerfully cathartic and emotional moments without the blink of an eye. Abz Winter seems to be born for the stage and spotlights.
In the latest EP, Just Wanna Be Me, the artist draws inspiration from her personal life, examining love, friendship, and youth with a touch of innocent vulnerability while remaining self-empowered. “Bye B*tch” is a dark anthemic banger about walking away from one-sided relationships.
The title track “Just Wanna Be Me” lays slightly on the dark and eerie side with a delightfully orchestrated sense of bizarre. Abz Winter discusses the challenges of “being me” — the battles between self-acceptance and the constant need to be perfect.
There’s a sense of rawness in her music that simply remains untamed from the outside world, combined with the rebellious and daring side and becoming something motivational and inspiring. In “Bad Thoughts,” Winter wonderfully draws from punk, electronic pop, and rock influences in her confession of having obsessive thoughts over another person and her wish to break free.
