Rising pop artist, Nessa Barrett has released her raw new single, “tired of california” today via Warner Records. The new track is taken from her debut album, young forever, out October 14th. Watch the accompanying video now below and pre-order the album HERE.
Throughout the song, Barrett explores the dark side of Los Angeles. “I get sick of sunshine on my perfect skin, vapid conversation, giving me the spin,” she begins. “Driving down Mulholland, closing both my eyes – ‘cuz they say you get more famous when you die.” The 20-year-old cuts to the chase on the addictive chorus. “I’m so tired of California, I’m so tired of L.A.,” Barrett belts, “where the real thing comes as often as the California rain.”
“tired of california” arrives soon after the release of Barrett’s delirious “madhouse” and romantic “die first,” an emotional anthem about the fear associated with losing loved ones. Both songs are featured on young forever which was co-written and produced with frequent collaborator Evan Blair, who also executive produced Barrett’s 2020 debut EP pretty poison.
Nessa will get to play the new songs live for the first time when she hits the stage at the When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas on Oct. 22nd, 23rd and 29th. She will also headline the El Rey in Los Angeles on Oct. 25th for a special album release show “YOUNG FOREVER LIVE!”
