Hutton is coming in hot with her latest single, "Afterparty" which is about the aftermath of coming out of a toxic relationship that caused you to lose your sense of self. "Afterparty" reflects on how the relationship played out; how she gave everything to this guy and he still made her feel like she was never enough. This guy broke her down, and all she wants now is to get some revenge for what he did to her. In the chorus, Hutton sings of wishing she could show up to this guy's afterparty and play out this revenge. Deep down she knows this would never actually happen, but she calls him out on what he did to her, and acknowledges that she deserves better when she sings "I lost myself in you, it's time I got her back".
"Afterparty" is gentle, emotionally somber indie pop / soft rock song with a late 90's / early 2000's nostalgic tone. It features prominent guitar, orchestral strings and a popping bass line. Gorgeous vocal harmonies fill the air along with an ear-catching melody that'll make you want to put this song on repeat. The lyrics are honest, shocking and relatable for anyone who has ever wanted to give the biggest middle finger possible to a toxic ex. Hutton has a conversational voice reminiscent of Phoebe Bridgers, with a melody and rhythm style that made me think of Taylor Swift and Gracie Abrams which are all incredible artists and songwriters to take after.
Hutton is a singer/songwriter originally from Telluride, Colorado who is now based in Los Angeles, California since moving two years ago all by herself when she was just 18. She has spent the last two years working on debuting her music career, which is exactly what she did this Summer with her first official single, "COOL!". "Afterparty" is now her second single release and there's plenty more to come. She's been working with producers Austen Healey, Runnner, Stephen Conley and Derek Ted to make the songs she wrote come to life and to share with the world. She has style that mixes indie, pop, rock and folk and pulls inspiration from classic icons like Indigo Girls and Sheryl Crow, as well as modern pop names like Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan. This is only the beginning for Hutton, so make sure to follow her below to see what comes next!
