At just twenty years old, the emerging artist Itz Namo brings a fresh, upbeat, and contemporary sound to his new single, “Screaming.” This breakup anthem, with its lyrics delving into the crash and burn of a past relationship, is a unique fusion of rock, rap, and pop punk. It’s a sound sure to pique any music listener’s interest, prompting them to ask, “What song is this?”
“Screaming” has a nostalgic 90s feel but with an exhilarating, modern sound simultaneously, making the track ideal for listeners of all generations. The song opens up with a pop-punk-esque instrumental consisting of jangly guitars, hard-hitting drums, and keys. Itz Namo’s vocals have a muffled tone, almost sounding trapped–the same feeling as he discusses feeling trapped in his mind. The chorus, “Now I’m screaming in my head, cuz now you’re just dead; Now I’m screaming in my head; cuz now I’m just dead,” showcases the back and forth that comes with heartbreak.

With his relatable lyrics about heartbreak, loss, and the everyday struggles of a 20-something, his music is a breath of fresh, reviving air.
