“Hot Mess“ by Anacy

Pop artist Anacy’s new song, “Hot Mess,” is a sultry, danceable track with meaningful lyrics. Her unique vocals, with their dreamy, mesmerizing cadence, are a standout feature of the song. They not only add a unique element to the track but also captivate the listener. The way her vocals are subtly layered behind a synth-heavy instrumental perfectly complements the theme of the track. “Hot Mess” is a journey of self-discovery amidst chaos, and Anacy’s vocals, along with the use of differing genres and instruments, bring out the chaotic yet calming energy that is her signature sound.

“Hot Mess” consists of an exhilarating instrumental consisting of synths, drums, keys, electric guitars, and bass. The lyrics examine a complex relationship, and she touches on all the struggles that she faces, even labeling herself as the “hot mess” in the relationship. According to Anacy, the song highlights the chaos: “…Despite the chaos surrounding them, there’s a sense of self-awareness and defiance.” The intensifying backdrop in “Hot Mess” is heard behind Anacy’s dream-like vocals. The instrumental is so spacy and gritty in the best way possible, creating the emotions that Anacy feels within her music.

Anacy, born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa, has been creating music for a few years now, and “Hot Mess” is just further cementing her distinctive sound.

The track was meticulously recorded at Cosher Studios and expertly mixed and mastered at Sunset Studios in Cape Town. Producers Ross Rowley and Tanner Mason were also responsible for the song, seamlessly fusing electronic elements with raw, emotive vocals.
