Picking a music style for Mei Semones feels impossible. The young Brooklyn musician mixes indie rock, jazz, classical, and more together, creating something unique. Her latest song, "I Can Do What I Want," proves this point. Following her February release "Dumb Feeling," with its bossa nova influences, this new track from her debut album Animaru manages to sound gentle yet powerful, beautiful yet messy. The song really delivers exactly what its title promises.
Speaking about the track, Semones explains it contains more energy than anything else on her album. She mentions it challenges her band when they perform it live. The lyrics focus on making choices that benefit her personally. She hopes listeners feel empowered to make similar healthy decisions for themselves after hearing it.
