“Under Pressure” is an odd duck—in the best way possible. It’s a very minimalistic song that relies heavily on an uptempo chill-house beat as the driving motor behind its thematic coherence, while Symone’s smooth, soft-downy vocals paradoxically accentuate the anxious undertones. The song would be relaxing if it weren’t so tense, and it would be nerve-wracking if it weren’t so hypnotic—a very peculiar and amazing achievement.“Under Pressure” is a striking ode to the fierce trials of life. Symone Royale’s soulful vocals intertwine with evocative yet relatable lyrics to deliver something universal, but not without her unique perspective. As mentioned before, the track pulses with an insistent beat, merging raw intensity with a powerful message of resilience and determination as it urges us to rise above challenges and defy the weight of expectations. With its dynamic melodies and subtle electronic flourishes, “Under Pressure” delivers a fresh, invigorating sound that inspires strength and courage.
