Toxic is Tess Becket’s Single Out Now
The first thing that struck me about this artist is her delicate and sincere voice.
A fascinating vocal timbre that has the ability to speak directly to the soul and heart of the listener.
Of her debut single “Toxic” I really liked the rhythmic cadence that in some moments made me think of Radiohead’s Karma Police.
Tess Becket is a talented artist with an articulated and mature artistic vision, supported by deep lyrics that demonstrate that this artist also has something to say.
The production is good, the arrangements are minimalistic but in my opinion perfect for her compositional style. The few sound elements are inserted in a coherent way and flawlessly support the melodic line.
A great discovery… an artist to follow as she has a bright future ahead of her!

Toxic is Tess Becket’s Single Out Now
Tess Becket just released her debut single on March 30th, “Toxic,” which is a bare indie rock ballad with poetic lyrics and an emotional vocal delivery. Written about a loved one going through a psychotic break, this song is a simmering reflection on returning to a dark, problematic relationship. Inspired by other queer singer-songwriters and producers, like King Princess and Julien Baker, Becket co-produced and wrote the song herself.
Born and raised in a rural town near Baltimore, Becket is a refined producer, sharp songwriter and sultry vocalist. With over one hundred unreleased tracks, the twenty-one year old meticulously honed her songwriting, engineering and production skills for years while working in the music industry. Becket learned audio engineering and production in a rap and hip-hop recording studio and quickly honed her talents by taking on major commercial audio projects and working on local tour stops, including for Swae Lee, Grace Potter and Los Lobos. Her upcoming releases, which have a small band and singer-songwriter style, examine
sapphic love, loss and familial toxicity.
Production and engineering credits on “Toxic” include Becket, lilacjack, Zachary J. Savage and Holden Cowburn. Piper Payne (Steven Universe, LeAnn Rimes) with Infrasonic Mastering mastered the track.
