A gutsy and awe-inspiring message of power comes from Alicia Lov's song "HEADACHE". This is a revenge anthem, seemingly post-breakup. It scratches that darker itch of wanting to get back at someone who wronged you, and anyone who needs an outlet for their frustration will be intoxicated by the indulgence in this song. With a vow to remain in their ex's vision or mind, the speaker threatens to be the manipulator behind their demise. An invigorating feeling of control will overcome you as you draw power from the mastery of the flipped scripted in the lyrics. In its own exciting way, this song asks the ex, 'so who's the weak one now?' When you sing along to this track, bask in that delicious taste of power in its lyrics.
Groovy electric guitar brings an edge to the dark pop sound is contrasted by bright percussion, and complimented by Alicia's confident vocals. Her singing starts off with a cool and assertive tone with its conversational low notes, before rising to a higher pitch and faster pace with the self-reflective switch the lyrics take. The chorus is a catchy blend of instrumentals and vocals that take on an almost hypnotic feeling with its daring lyrics. A slight vocal distortion emphasizes a quiet threat in the lyrics, adding a tantalizing texture to the track. The second verse begins with slightly muted vocals as though they are filtered through an old radio, while Alicia's vocalizing layers smoothly and clearly over top before the lyrics take over with full force. A seductively enticing auditory journey takes place when you listen to this song. If you're a fan of music that will get you heated just as much as it will make you dance, "Headache" is a song for you.
