Reneé Rapp, American singer and actress known for playing Regina George in the adaptation of ‘Mean Girls’ of Broadway, and then in the 2024 film remake, returns.
‘Leave Me Alone’ is the first advance of ‘Bite Me’, the second Rapp album, and proposes a guitar sound very similar to Bruno Mars and Rosé’s ‘APT’. The Glam-Punk sound of ‘Leave Me Alone’ is more Disney than Joan Jett, but works. It is the song of the day.
And ‘Leave Me Alone’ works thanks to the impudence with which Reneé Rapp interprets the lyrics. She believes her role as “bad girl” and in the song he rebels against several things: the music industry, the NDAS he has signed, a break by phone, the fans who ask for photos, the manager who asks “Where is the single?” The chorus of ‘Leave Me Alone’ is clear and direct: «Leave me alone, I just want to have fun».
Reneé Rapp’s attitude sells ‘Leave me’ as much as the electric guitars produced by Alexander 23, Omar Fedi and Julian Bunetta, to which more subtle layers of palms and keyboards are added. ‘Leave Me Alone’ is a punk-pop dart that has no more objective than being as simple and effective as possible, and absolutely fulfills its mission.
The song two also deliberate also the song. The references of the letter to the low pants and marked nipples and the use of the Fry vowel make the fourth “bad girl” of the Bimbo Summit seem like Rapp. Lindsay, Paris, Britney, make room!
