Ines Rae’s latest single, “Bad Things Scream When They’re Dying”, is a beautiful exploration of inner turmoil, delivered with vulnerability and heartfelt emotion. Tackling the often-silenced struggle of eating disorders, Rae transforms a difficulty many face into a universal message of resilience and hope. The track’s core is as much about connection as it is about confrontation, offering a reminder that solidarity and support can provide strength against the loudest voices in our heads.
“Bad Things Scream When They’re Dying was born from the idea that the voices in our head, the ones telling us we’re not enough, scream the loudest when they’re losing their power. This song is for 15-year-old Ines and anyone currently in that fight, to remind you that their noise doesn’t define you,” Rae shares, a sentiment that resonates deeply throughout the track.
Musically, the single pairs arresting synth textures with stripped-back percussion, creating an intimate yet soaring soundscape. Rae’s indie-pop sensibilities, reminiscent of Lewis Capaldi and Phoebe Bridgers, shine through in the delicate interplay between vulnerability and grandeur. The production balances minimalism and intensity, allowing her emotionally charged vocals to take center stage without losing the richness of the atmospheric instrumentation.
With “Bad Things Scream When They’re Dying”, Ines Rae cements herself as a compelling voice in alt-pop, providing a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, music can articulate what words often cannot, offering solace to those who need it most.
