Okay, so I stumbled on Milena Galasso’s new track “Honest” kind of by accident, and wow, what a punchy, straight-up banger. It’s one of those songs where by the second chorus you already know the words and you’re singing along like it’s been on your playlist for months. The mix of pop with a little UK garage twist gives it that perfect night-out energy, but the lyrics? That’s where it really hits.
Milena doesn’t sugarcoat anything. She dives right into the awkwardness of modern dating with lines like “I don’t like it when you compliment my body like I don’t own it,” and you feel that. She’s not just writing a breakup anthem or a girl power chant, she’s calling out the creepy, subtle stuff that usually just gets brushed off. And somehow, she makes it feel empowering and fun at the same time.
The vibe reminds me a little of early Dua Lipa, bold, confident, and not afraid to say exactly what she means. But Milena brings her own flavor too, there’s this wit in the way she phrases things that makes the track feel really personal and alive. Her vocals are clean and catchy, but also feel emotionally raw in a way that makes you want to keep listening.
I seriously like this song so much, like the beat, the lyrics, the whole vibe, it’s exactly what I want in a pop track right now and honestly it should be on everyone’s playlist, no excuses.
Listening to songs so you don’t have to! Just kidding :D, you totally should. Music blogger by day, nurse by night
