A Funky, Introspective Journey into the Space Between Vulnerability and Control
The Lady in My Head opens Can’t Walk Straight with a confident statement — a track that feels equal parts introspection and groove. It’s moody, funky, and magnetic in all the right ways, setting the tone for an EP that explores the tension between vulnerability and self-control.
From the very first riff, The Lady in My Head grabs your attention. The rhythm section moves with an infectious pulse, while layers of blues-inflected guitar and indie-funk textures create a hypnotic soundscape. It’s the kind of track that feels effortless but is clearly crafted with care — every instrumental choice serving the mood, every groove serving the story.
What’s most striking is the balance between musical sophistication and emotional accessibility. The songwriting is sharp and self-aware, with lyrics that feel like an internal dialogue — the kind of quiet conversation you have with yourself when your thoughts start speaking louder than your logic. As the song unfolds, that inner voice becomes a character of its own, blurring the line between truth and imagination.
There’s a haunted undercurrent in the performance, not in a ghostly way, but in an emotional one — the lingering presence of doubt, desire, or memory that refuses to let go. It’s an experience that deepens as you move through the EP, where the themes of self-reflection and vulnerability continue to build with shadowy intensity.
Vocally, the delivery is both cool and human — introspective but unafraid to lean into the funk and grit that make the track so memorable. It’s that contrast that makes The Lady in My Head stand out: a song that moves your body while it makes your mind wander.

The Lady in My Head sets the foundation perfectly — introspective, catchy, and a little haunted — a clear invitation to step inside the artist’s world and stay awhile.
