Rating: 4.5 out of 5

This new track starts out feeling a bit like the musical version of the teen Classic, The Breakfast Club but for those who have never seen the classic movie here is a bit from her publicist about the track ... Andi's new track, 'Devil's Work,' is a piano-driven ballad ruminating on the heartbreak that comes from not feeling worthy. Andi's vocals soar as her yearning falsetto lingers with the weight of her words. Not just a reflection but a call to action, Andi's "Devil's Work" speaks directly to those struggling with their mental health and self-acceptance. Andi goes into detail below: 'This song was inspired by the lack of open conversation about mental health. So many people portray perfect lives online yet are struggling behind the scenes. The lyric, “Her reflection shows her ribcage but she thinks she weighs too much,” portrays the reality of this day in age - especially on social media. There is a beauty standard that is so unattainable that young girls and boys are unable to see themselves clearly. I want this song to help people get through tough times that feel impossible to get through. The line, “magazines have editors and makeup does the devils work,” is another metaphor for social media setting unhealthy standards. You aren’t seeing the editing of the pictures, posing, fake lighting; you’re just getting the final product. This is so unhealthy for young boys and girls.
