Sally Phantom finds salvation in the depths of emotion on "Going Insane"

On "Going Insane" Canadian alt-rock singer-songwriter Sally Phantom continues to make the case that weakness and power can occupy the same breath. After establishing the dark kinetic energy of her debut single, "Going Insane", Phantom plunges even further into the human condition, exposed nerves and all, as she ventures to embrace addling addiction, unspoken desire, and spiritual confrontation.

"Going Insane" is a late-night confession into the void, part plea, part rebirth. Co-written by Hugo Mudie and produced by Mudie, Adrian Popovich, Karl Houde, and Phantom herself, the track is gritty yet graceful. There is emotion pouring out of each guitar, and Sally's vocals falter between control and chaos, as if she were perched on the edge of healing.

There's no filter here, just a young woman processing her past, grappling with sobriety, and wrestling with the pain of lost love. The product strikes a perfect balance between the two extremes, raw yet polished, heavy yet homey. At 23, Phantom's path from rehab to redemption is not just back story, it's the pulse of her art. "Going Insane" isn't really about perfection, but it's about permission, to feel, to fall, to forgive. The result is an alt-rock confession that punches you right in the chest as it reverberates long after the final chord has vanished into thin air.
