The new single “It’s Not You” from Anacy is an honest pop song that resonates with the quiet self-conflict that is going on inside our heads. Bombsquad Studios crafted this song meticulously, and it was mastered at Sunset Recording Studios, showcasing a refreshing mix of electro-pop bangers and indie earworms. From the second you hit play, the shimmering synths, the gentle drumming, and the sliding electric guitars will immediately grasp your attention, and her voice lingers like your own fleeting thoughts. It’s catchy, and it’s worth the reflection. This masterfully clean mix will sound refreshingly emotional without sounding melodramatic, staying soft but not losing the intimacy even at its heavier moments, and each note sounds like it’s serving a purpose.

“It’s Not You” is her indie take on the age-old battle of yearning for intimacy and running from it. The song speaks from her point of view but will ring all too familiar to listeners; “It’s Not You” was made for every individual who’s ever shied away right at the moment when things were beginning to get real. The lyrics have no accusing finger; they just spill. It’s one of the most genuine vocal performances in recent memory, supported by the hushed keys, poignant brams, and drum beat that crescendos like bottled emotions. The vocals in the chorus take center stage without being overbearing and envelope the very raw sentiment of hanging on and letting go simultaneously in a perfect bittersweet harmony. The tone of this song will undulate from self-contemplative to liberating catharsis almost subconsciously, making the listener feel like they’re breathing in and out their heartbreak.

The vulnerability of this track, however, doesn’t mean that it’s an amateur production. It’s the complete opposite; the realness of “It’s Not You” is part of what makes this track hit hard and sets it apart. There’s no posturing, no need to prove to anyone—she just told the truth, and it hits home. “It’s Not You” is a mirror to those all-too-common but vaguely hazy realizations that we might be keeping the wrong things out with all these walls we keep building. It’s a pop banger; it’s styled and has its own swagger, but it also has soul. If she keeps producing music like this, Anacy will not just be a name to watch, but one of the names that’ll be carving what pop music could feel like.
