A passionate and sultry R&B jewel, ‘wasted’ is incredibly vaporous, gloomy and elegant, wrapping the listeners into three minutes of lyrical euphoria and expansive electronic frequencies. Mezzi Mae is the talented songstress behind the piece; hailing from Dallas, the young creative crowns an already compelling track with soulful and hazy vocals, showcasing her perfect and luscious tone.
Produced by Mae herself, ‘wasted’ is rather impressive, not just because of its technical features, but also because of the extended cohesion between the sonic material and its lyrical counterpart. When the songwriter and the producer are the same figure, there’s arguably a strong advantage. Pursuing a unique artistic vision, Mezzi is able to shape the record exactly as she wishes.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘wasted’, she explains: “It takes you on a journey through the lens of a person who craves a level of closeness with someone who doesn’t want them in the same way.”
