Jacklyn has released a fresh anthem for anyone going through it right now—especially if that someone is being an absolute you-know-what. Don’t Be A ick is her way of expressing her experiences dealing with difficult people, in particular, music industry archetypes.

Jacklyn’s new track Don’t Be a Ick is out now.

This Is Jacklyn’s War Music

This is a fun romp of a song, with some bouncy bass, drums slapped against Jacklyn‘s brilliant groove, and a ready mix of vocals. She’s got it all down to a tee and says this isn’t just for her, but for…

…any sh***y person you’ve crossed paths with. Could be an ex, an ex-best friend, or even your cr***y boss. It’s that ‘no one cares until everyone cares’ feeling, when people only show up once you start “doing well”.

Not only does she touch on elements of circumstance, but she also points the finger at those in her life who have no faith in her abilities—but it’s clear, she is armed with a phenomenal gift.

It’s my big middle finger to the doubters, wrapped in a beat you can vibe to however you want.”

She’s got all the talent and is definitely going places — this track is a tribute to herself, her confidence, and a performance melting pot. Blended together with self-assured vocals and a pinch of rocket fuel this is going to be a tune that won’t leave your head.
