After scrapping an entire album at the beginning of 2025, UPSAHL took the year to re-center, working on new music that feels like a return to her rockstar roots. Her first release since “Tears on the dance floor,” in 2024, “TOPIC” wipes those tears away to reveal an authentically confident, chaotic-yet-grounded new version of the UPSAHL we love.
The single kicks off with sultry talk-singing, tinged with the perfect gritty edge of distortion, immediately setting the noisy foundation. UPSAHL intertwines elements of her previously pop-forward production with this new rock spirit: dance sub-basses mingle with punchy snares, and surf rock guitars drone over the danceable beat.
The build-up to the euphoric chorus is pure ecstasy, bottling up the adrenaline of a sweaty dance floor and mixing it with the bliss of not caring what anyone thinks. While “TOPIC” sneers in the face of gossip and insecurity, it’s also celebratory in tone, like the title theme to a raucous, youthful movie to follow.
