Escalating from smoky suaveness into anthemic rock outpouring, “I’m Insane” is a memorable new track from Lauren Tyler Scott. The laid-back, lounge-friendly allure in the verses touts a jazzy, trip-hop charm. “I was burned by fire before I lit the flame,” Scott sings, followed by added guitar flourishes that evolve steadily into the passionate title-referencing chorus. The confessional chorus contrasts enjoyably, reflective of the conveyed feeling; the track maintains a steady, climactic quality between the moody verses and rousing escalation.
Scott elaborates on the track: “I wrote this song about the many contradictions of life, and I wanted to represent those contradictions sonically as well as lyrically, which is why there is such genre bending and variation throughout each section.”
