MY YOUTH (EXPLICIT)

INTRO
love to get it now but I save the best for never
Imagination wild sometimes it blends together
I love to get it now but I hate being a liar
Blood drips from my mouth and I start to perspire
That's why they yell fire
It's an emergency don't get no better than me
I'm the one mama warned ya about
I'll live forever just to burn this bitch down

CHORUS 1 (2X)
Ooo you're too good for me
I like to live in my misery
Live in my truth
Dare to die in my youth
Dare to die in my youth
Dare to die in my youth
I'm like..

VERSE 1
Please don't I won't be killed with kindness
Don't and won't need to smile to wear a crown, I'm your highness
Know who, what, where I need do not come for me
I'm in Unison they like who this bitch
Sitting in my bed thinking in they head
A bad girl I like the chase I got mine
I like see them crash n burn down the line
all the time when you grind it gets boring
watching the world turn without a hailstorm
Don't follow your rules when I rule
My reign is different hell born, fighting for infinite
Not captive by affection now I don't give a shit

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2
Ooo It's my purest sin
And I can't begin to tell you never has no end
I want to feel alive
Think about the other side and
Dare to
Dare to
Dare to die in my youth

VERSE 2
Best do what I please or become my enemy
Rest all your energy in me just get on your knees and see
I'm the only queen you need
everybody envy til the enemy approaching
Silent, deadly don't know where I'm going
Crown feels heavy only for the delicate
Sharp tongue I say what I want and I get
Blade goes deep, I'm deliberate
No limit to my madness when I kill it
Amber to ashes I'm the real lit
Yell fire I'm the realest like ooo

CHORUS 1

BRIDGE
Yell fire burn baby down
I didn't want to hurt em
But I tried to warn them
They like fire burn this bitch down
I didn't want to hurt em
I tried to warn them

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

TAG
die in my youth
dare to die in my youth
dare to die in my youth
I'm like ooo
dare to die in my youth
dare to die in my youth
dare to die in my...

Cannes Film Festival

Brit Fox Studios is blazing a trail with our latest musical triumphs, "Short Notice," "Mazuma," and "Frosty," each earning its place on the illustrious stage of the Cannes Film Festival. What makes these achievements even more awe-inspiring is that they were born right here in Cleveland, with the collaborative brilliance of our city's producers, audio engineers, and talent. This remarkable feat speaks volumes about the depth of creativity flourishing in our community. But beyond the glitz and glamour of Cannes, these songs carry a profound message—one of transformation, foresight, and personal growth. "Mazuma" reminds us to trust in our capacity to adapt and evolve, while "Short Notice" urges us to maintain our edge in the ever-changing landscape. And in the infectious rhythm of "Frosty," we discover the inspiration to become the best versions of ourselves. As we celebrate the success of these exceptional tracks, let's also embrace their moral imperative: that by embracing change, anticipating challenges, and striving for self-improvement, we unlock the full extent of our potential and pave the way for extraordinary achievements.

From Basement to Ballroom: A Cleveland-Cannes Cinderella Story

Unpacking ANORA: A Fusion of Visuals and Vibes

In the world of indie cinema, few names resonate as deeply as that of Sean Baker. With a reputation for authentically depicting the lives of uniquely flawed characters, Baker’s latest venture, ANORA, is no exception. Set against the backdrop of a quaint yet gritty town, the film takes viewers on an emotional rollercoaster that feels all too relatable. But what elevates ANORA from just another indie entry is the vibrant, electric soundtrack, crafted in collaboration with our very own Brit Fox.

The Man Behind the Vision

Sean Baker, a pioneer in the realm of intersectional storytelling, doesn’t shy away from the raw truths of life. Building on the success of films like Tangerine and The Florida Project, Baker dives headfirst into the intricacies of human relationships and the struggle for identity. With ANORA, he frames a compelling narrative around a young woman grappling with her dreams and their unlikely collisions with reality.

Brit Fox: Amplifying Voices Through Sound

As viewers follow the film's journey, the music curated and produced by Brit Fox emerges not just as a backdrop, but as an intricate part of the narrative fabric. Brit Fox, known for her rebellious spirit and candid approach to collaboration, has always believed in amplifying voices that need to be heard. Her contribution to ANORA brings the film’s emotional landscape to life, weaving in sounds that feel both edgily raw and hauntingly beautiful.

Each song places the audience deeper into the psyche of the characters. Punchy 808s compete with lyrical vulnerability, echoing the struggles and triumphs faced by the film’s protagonist. The blend creates a soundtrack that's not merely filler but a full-bodied experience intertwined with the visual storytelling.

The Soundtrack: A Character in Itself

The soundtrack journeys from uplifting anthems to brooding ballads, perfectly mirroring the highs and lows that characterize Baker’s storytelling. Not just any music, but precisely curated tones that stay with you long after the credits roll. Can you feel the drive of rebellion in the groove of the bass? It’s there, waiting to resonate within every heart that's dared to dream and fight.

With tracks that evoke nostalgia while challenging the status quo, Brit Fox ensures that each note is steeped in authenticity and a punky soulfulness. The seamless integration of her music elevates the narrative, allowing audiences' emotions to swell and ebb, almost as if the soundtrack itself is breathing alongside the characters.

Conclusion: A Raw, Unfiltered Experience

ANORA is a testament to what happens when visionary storytelling meets audacious sound. Sean Baker has once again crafted a cinematic experience that is both thought-provoking and heartfelt, while Brit Fox’s involvement takes it to another stratosphere. Together, they create a film that feels intimate yet expansive—a true portrayal of our gritty existence with a touch of rebellion.

So, grab your favorite drink and get ready to immerse yourself in ANORA, where every frame is a reflection of the human spirit, and every note is an anthem of defiance. This isn’t just a film; it’s a movement. And this is just the beginning.

Listen to "SHORT NOTICE" in the film - it's the moment when you take control of your own story. Feel "FROSTY" freeze time with its bold beats. Let "MAZUMA" boost your drive until it can't be held back by studio walls. The journey is tough. Some nights, only the steady beat of Cleveland will push you forward. In those moments, think of ANORA, fighting for her love in New York. Remember every artist who started in a basement, every dreamer who faced doubt, every voice rising from our rust belt streets to reach for the stars.
