Brittney Mendoza releases a lovely debut single, entitled, “Paranoid”

Brittney Mendoza is an LA-based, Hawai’i-raised singer-songwriter from Guam. Not too long ago, she released a lovely debut single, entitled, “Paranoid.” The song was co-written in Los Angeles with Tim Atlas, Jesse Barrera, and Paul Prudente at the brink of a global pandemic.

Brittney Mendoza – “Paranoid” single

“If it’s out of sight, tell me why it’s got a hold on my mind? I try to forget, then regret how I let it design me. I’m dancing with a demon and I wish it wouldn’t take the lead. Feelin’ guilty is better than feelin’ nothing. I don’t mean to overreact – take it out on you then take it back. Maybe I’m just living in the past. Things that were left unsaid are strangers sleeping in our bed.” – lyrics

‘Paranoid’ tells an intriguing tale about an insecure young woman who finds herself battling unwanted thoughts. Apparently, she wants to drown out the noise in her mind that’s causing her not to trust her partner. Later, she admits some concerns about her mental health: “It’s a little bit scary to realize where my mind’s at.”

‘Paranoid’ contains a relatable narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and tuneful melodies that will resonate well with fans of Sammi Morelli, ORLA, and Gia Vorne. The likable tune possesses lush instrumentation flavored with indie-R&B and neo-soul elements. Furthermore, “Paranoid” serves as a wonderful introduction to what listeners can expect to hear from Brittney Mendoza in the near future as she continues to release new music.
