The Swift Kicks Verano delivers a vivid memoir dressed in dreamy West Coast vibes with “!High Note$ 7.0.” This new single captures the culture shock, late-night sessions, and raw human encounters that colored his arrival in Los Angeles, wrapped in a blend of wit, grit, and hazy production that feels like a 2 a.m. drive through Hollywood.
Verano's lyricism is observant and cinematic, painting a picture of a city glittering with temptation, disillusionment, and fleeting connections. From chance meetings with martini-sipping, carrot-stick-crunching partygoers to the solitude of grinding through graveyard studio shifts, he captures the tension between indulgence and ambition. It’s personal, reflective, and even a little humorous, like he’s letting us ride shotgun through his whirlwind adaptation to the LA lifestyle.
There’s a bittersweet undertone to it all, but “!High Note$ 7.0” never sinks into self-pity. Instead, it feels like a journal entry set to a beat, full of longing, humor, and a touch of homesick swagger. Verano embraces discomfort as part of the creative journey, and it shows in how organically he fuses storytelling with sonic texture.
This is a detailed snapshot of a nomadic artist finding rhythm in chaos. The Swift Kicks Verano may have landed on unfamiliar ground, but with “!High Note$ 7.0,” he’s made it unmistakably his own.
