A rousing rock energy dazzles across “I’m Done (I’ve Had Enough),” a memorable single from Electric Lady that exudes a replay-inducing, anthemic prowess. Tereza Rays’ vocals stir with a dynamic appeal, maneuvering from initial coolly delivered “looking for the good things, but I can’t think of ’em” intrigue — as sporadic bursts of guitar weave in — into an enveloping rock energy. The title-touting declaration consumes in the latter sense, with call-and-response vocals complementing the steadier guitar presence and “get me out of here” vocal pleas.
An especially compelling shift takes hold around mid-point, reminiscent of No Doubt in its shift from impassioned rock into a more pop-friendly dreaminess. “It’s tearing me apart,” Tereza Rays’ vocals attain a more introspective demeanor, arising into a fervent “feel it in my heart” charm as the heavier doses of guitars re-emerge. “I’ve had enough, I’m done,” the vocal layers let out a final time during the riveting conclusion, sending off the track with satiating endurance.
The band, which also includes the talents of drummer Robin Evans and bassist Cayman, describe the track as “a battle cry.” They continue: “While pop plays it safe, rock still bleeds, screams, and lives loud.” The single consumes in its hooky rock unveiling, and also in its lyrical feelings of empowerment and confidence — recognizing to move on when one has personally had enough, rather than relying on societal expectations. It’s another success for Electric Lady, which was founded in 2013 and has drawn praise for hundreds of shows across Europe, the USA, and the UK.
