Liza Owen is a British singer-songwriter of Cambodian descent. She’s currently residing between London and LA. Earlier in her career, she lent her sharp lyricism to the likes of Selena Gomez and BTS as a songwriter. In recent years however, she stepped out of the shadows, performing her own songs.

Her new single Getting Good starts with a good old triangle, but soon a slick beat drops in. The electric guitar parts are pretty grungy, but so far down in the mix, they’re just enough to give the track an edge. It never becomes a rock song, and that’s exactly how it’s meant to be. The lyrics are pretty grungy as well, by the way. Getting Good tells the story of self-destruction and the lengths we go to leading ourselves down the wrong paths.
