In this interview spotlight, I catch up with Sonya Glass to chat about the new release (My Revenge), personal experiences, emotional intensity, and more.

Full Q&A along with links and music below.

Can you tell us about the inspiration behind your new single, “My Revenge.” What led  you to explore the theme of empowerment through indifference? 

I was going through a  rough break up with someone and struggling to see the other side. I definitely had a few  moments where I thought if I could simply hurt them in the same way they had hurt me,  I would feel peace. However, that hate, that toxicity, was taking a toll on me both  mentally and physically. I had already given so much time and energy to the relationship, I was almost annoyed that on the other side of it, I was still expending the  same amount of time and energy. I think I just realized I had to break the cycle. I had to  stop allowing this individual to hold power over me. By allowing myself to become  indifferent, I took my power back.  

How do you think your personal experiences with heartbreak and resilience influenced  the creation of “My Revenge”? 

My experience with relationships has been imperfect lol. I have learned many hard lessons through trial and error. I think this song is also a reflection on realizing the best revenge is to learn to love yourself. I often picked people  who were either emotionally unavailable or simply not that interested in me. This really  stemmed from my lack of self- worth, or the constant need to prove I deserved to take  up space in this world. I kept looking to someone else for validation, but the reality was,  I needed to validate myself. I needed to realize my path was littered with failed  relationships because I expected said relationships to fix me.  

Can you discuss the musical elements you incorporated to complement the song’s  emotional intensity? 

I came into the studio with an idea, with lyrics and loose melody. I  knew I wanted the song to be dark, while maintaining a lightness. My producer, Shell  Enns, is brilliant. We began on the keyboard and built from there. It was truly a joint  effort creating this track, as is every track I work on with him. I am lucky to have the  opportunity to work with someone who understands how complex emotions are, and  how important it is to the story of the song that those emotions come across. Every time  we start a new song, he asks me what the feeling was when I wrote it. That is truly  where we build from. Specifically, we used keys, bass, electric guitar, and synth to give  this track depth.  

Can you elaborate on the message you hope to convey with this song? What do you  want listeners to take away from “My Revenge” after experiencing it for the first  time? 

Honestly, I hope they walk away feeling like they will be ok. Even if something  sucks today, it won’t suck forever. I hope they feel empowered to love themselves, even  through the dark times. 

How do you see “My Revenge” fitting into the broader narrative of your music career  and the evolution of your sound? 

I think my revenge fits into my broader narrative  because it is raw. It is difficult to describe my sound, to be honest, I have zero idea what  my sound is lol. But I do know, I write what I feel and I write what I know. I think my  revenge is a testament to how I want to be honest about who I am through my music. 

Thanks for your time! Where can we stay up to date with all of your future projects? 

Always! Definitely IG, I have recently ventured into to TikTok so who know… lol!
