After a four-year creative journey, the profound singer-songwriter Etta Marcus rereleases the shadows of her past through ‘Death Grips’, a compelling single that exemplifies the metamorphosis of emotional turbulence into artistic beauty.
Etta’s relationship with the song is a testament to the fluid nature of music and meaning.

- Lyrical Significance:
“The drama is still there but it’s all grown up now,” Etta reflects on the song’s transformation. ‘Death Grips’ now stands less as an echo of adolescent despair and more as a harmonious acceptance of life’s less gentle lessons.
The latest single follows closely on the heels of Etta’s well-received mini-album ‘The Death of Summer & Other Promises’, vibing through hits like ‘Snowflake Suzie’, ‘Girls That Play’, ‘Little Wing’, and ‘Theatre’. Each song is a milestone on Marcus’s path of artistic growth, inviting listeners to delve into a world where emotions are laid bare through melodic storytelling.
