“Unbeautiful” Shatters Perfection to Show What Freedom Really Looks Like
Every so often, a song comes along that doesn’t just ask for your attention but grips it like a vice. SAVARRE’s Unbeautiful is one of those tracks. Released in 2020 via XIII Records, this rock staple doesn’t waste time on make-believe. It’s unapologetically honest—a song that flips the bird to societal standards and instead builds a shrine to individuality and freedom. Unbeautiful’s not about being neat or pretty – it’s about embracing the jagged edges that make us who we are. With Shannon Denise Evans at the helm, SAVARRE has created a piece that doesn’t just sound good—it feels like a lifeline for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong. Shannon doesn’t mince words when talking about the song’s origins. “I have never, nor will I ever, truly ‘fit in,’” she says. That sentiment fuels every note and lyric of Unbeautiful. Growing up as a self-proclaimed misfit, she faced the usual barrage of societal judgments: bullied, overlooked, and underestimated. Instead of being crushed by it, she’s turned it into something powerful—an anthem for those who refuse to conform. The track’s lyrics are an unflinching exploration of vulnerability, resilience, and ultimately, freedom. “Face in time, face the night, face that […]

Inspired by her personal experiences, the song addresses the impact of overcoming adversity, particularly in the wake of damaging fake news articles and emotional abuse.

I’m an intensely private person so Karma is the first time I’ve decided to step into the spotlight. […]
Why ‘Too Bad So Sad’ is the Ultimate Breakup Anthem”
Breakup songs are a dime a dozen, but few capture the mix of emotional depth and self-empowerment like “Too Bad So Sad”. Unlike the typical breakup anthem that dwells on heartbreak or seeks closure, this track is a celebration of personal strength and moving on. Martone and Intelligent Diva have created an anthem that encourages listeners to embrace their independence and move forward with confidence after a relationship ends. The song’s lyrics are a sharp departure from the usual post-breakup narratives. Instead of lamenting the loss of a relationship, Intelligent Diva confidently declares her emotional independence. The catchy chorus, “Too bad, so sad, he’ll recognize you were the best he had,” serves as both a mantra and a reminder to never settle for less than you deserve. It’s the kind of anthem that makes you want to throw your head back, sing at the top of your lungs, and remember that you’re worth so much more than the heartbreak you’ve been through. Musically, “Too Bad So Sad” perfectly complements this message of self-assurance. The dark, moody production pairs perfectly with the track’s defiant tone, creating a sound that’s both empowering and cathartic. The combination of Martone’s atmospheric beats and Intelligent […]
