I gave Edie Yvonne’s “Delusion” a listen after hearing it’s part of a trilogy that wraps up her earlier songs Girl Code and Queen Bee. The first few seconds grabbed my attention with this crisp pop-rock sound that feels alive but not overdone. There’s a subtle tension in her voice, like she’s balancing confidence with uncertainty, and that makes it easy to connect with.
The track builds slowly, in the best way. The guitars start simple, then pick up energy as the song moves forward. The rhythm feels steady, like it’s carrying the story without overpowering it. Edie doesn’t go overboard with her vocals; she holds back when she needs to, and that restraint makes her delivery more powerful when she finally lets go a little. It sounds real, like someone caught in the middle of sorting their own feelings out loud.
The lyrics hit that sweet spot between honesty and confusion. She sings, “Can’t catch a break / ’Cause I’m always drawn back to you / Not trying to be obsessed / But I’ll confess / That I’m second guessing / What to do”. It’s the kind of song that fits a quiet night when you’re thinking too much or wondering why certain people still take up space in your head.
For someone who was only 15 when she released this, that kind of emotional awareness is wild. The production by Nicky Swedin and Cormac Liotta keeps things sharp but still warm. You can tell they wanted the track to feel genuine, and it does. It’s the kind of song that lingers with you after it ends.
If you’re into honest storytelling with a little bite, “Delusion” deserves a spot on your playlist. Go check it out and keep up with Edie Yvonne on Spotify and social media — she’s definitely one to watch.
