Alyssa Keen & Stafford Beats - GFY

Singer-songwriter Alyssa Keen joins with Stafford Beats on an epic and eerie production titled “GFY”.  With only four songs release under her profile, Alyssa Keen is already on the way to 500 monthly Spotify listeners. Despite the small quantity of songs, the music’s value speaks for itself and ensures repeat listens.

The instrumental feels like embodiment of a soothing dark lullaby, luring the listener in. Spooky confidence bounces with each drum hit to highlight Alyssa Keen’s soft yet sharp vocal delivery. Stafford Beats produced “GFY” for Alyssa Keen following their past two collaborations from this year “Fear and Fright (ft. ilyaugust)” and “You’re An Animal”.

Stafford Beats is known for working with popular underground hip-hop artists such as JXVE, Papithbk, Paycheck, PmBata and more. Currently sitting at almost 80,000 monthly listeners, Stafford Beats has honed in on being able to ignite sparks when working with any artist. However with the release of “GFY”, it’s clear the creative chemistry between Alyssa Keen and Stafford Beats is different.

The songs vocals pair with the instrumental like fingers interlocked. Moments in the song’s melody paired with Alyssa Keen’s emotional impactful lyrics felt reminiscent of popular pop stars like Melanie Martinez.  Tight lipped, calm confidence is felt throughout “GFY”.

Lyrically the song is about standing your ground and reclaiming confidence after relationships have gone sour. “GFY” is a middle finger to anyone who has under valued you or dismissed your ability to fight back. Throughout the song poetic metaphors and dark melodic loops to show dominance over those who doubt your self worth.
