Austrian-German artist Thoughty’s Single “Done” ignites the airwaves and demands unflinching attention.
There’s a magnetic bravado to the single “Done” by Thoughty that renders the act of skipping it nigh on unthinkable — a slick gem of contemporary pop that buzzes with emotional circuitry. The Austrian-German artist uses his voice the way other musicians use weapons: sharp, precise, silky — cutting infectious beats with a delivery that’s captivatingly raw yet impeccably controlled. The production shines with a contemporary sheen that recalls chart-toppers like Justin Bieber and Kid Laroi, but it’s Thoughty’s lyrical vulnerability that distinguishes him.
With lines that shift between defiance and heartbreak, he builds a story that’s universally intimate, set to a buoyant tempo that somehow also feels captivating and desolate. The chorus is an earworm of anthemic proportions, and his layering of vocals in the pre-chorus mirrors the inner conflict that comes with attempting, and then failing, to truly release. This isn’t only a breakup song — it’s a throbbing proclamation of self-respect, backed by glimmering synths and steady percussion. In fact, Thoughty has made a song that doesn’t just echo but hovers, as addictive and bittersweet as the memories it evokes. “Done” has a feeling of being a conversation you can’t escape from, where each beat, each lyric, draws you further into its emotional orbit.
